Antiphons in honour of Saint Thomas of Canterbury, 12th-13th century
Contents
This section contains noted services or antiphons, titled In Natale S. Thome Cantuariensis Archiepiscopi et Martyris, which suggests they were for use on the birthday or feast day of Saint Thomas of Canterbury, also known as Thomas Becket.
Musically they are quite various, but most of the antiphons seem to be elaborations of the Gloria melodies that follow each of them in the manuscript. The Use is undetermined, but is not Sarum, Hereford, or York.
This section starts on f. 155v and ends on f. 158v.
This section is written in the same hand as the rest of the manuscript and is noted.
