Leaf from a Catholic liturgical manscript, possibly an antiphonal. Contains antiphonae and hymns for the Advent season. The hymn "Vox clara ecce intonat" is usually set for Lauds during Advent, and the rest of the antiphonae are also commonly used during that season. Includes musical notation for the antiphon "Nox praecessit" and three others.
