There are some\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;tears but it's stable in the frame. For some weird reason there is clear tape on\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;the back of the glass and a little on the front, possibly they taped the two\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;panes together and over time the tape degraded a little, still it displays well.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;Slightly illuminated in the picture shown. 22.5\" x 16\" framed.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;The origins of liturgical music traditionally date back to St. Gregory the Great\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;(d. 604), who was inspired by the Holy Dove to record the principles of\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;'Gregorian' chant. The Gradual contained the musical parts of the Missal and was\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;sung from the steps (gradus) of the altar. The Antiphoner contained the musical\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;sections of the Breviary. These terms have become interchangeable in modern\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;times. Because of their size and complexity, these manuscripts were still being\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;handmade in the traditional way for centuries after the introduction of\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;printing. They were boldly hand-written and illuminated on large sheets of\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;sturdy vellum so that the entire choir could read from one book.","brand":"sale - www.estatefreshaustin.com Estate Fresh Austin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46809757941976,"sku":"16795741099_DC0Bd","price":280.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0677\/6284\/7960\/files\/15th16th-century-vellum-antiphonal-leaf-vestate-fresh-austin-819918.png?v=1757823279","url":"https:\/\/estatefreshaustin.com\/zh-hant\/products\/estatefreshaustincom-1639","provider":"Estate Fresh Austin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
