<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Cambria","serif";color:#1F497D">I have had several contacts and Peter Hirsch offered to forward my post to the
</span>music librarian's list MLA-L (which I am not on) and I have received several offers of help and suggestions. I appreciate everyone’s offers and comments.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Cambria","serif";color:#1F497D">Update for those interested –
</span>A person who has seen some photos said: “It’s what’s called a “Graduale” which contains the sung music/texts (but not the spoken parts) of the Mass. Based on the interwoven “knotted” initial letter on the first page, it’s likely Spanish (or Spanish-speaking
new world if later). … This is probably one of two paired books for the Mass — the first one would have contained the annual cycle of Sundays and special days (Christmas, Easter, etc.) beginning with the first Sunday of advent and ending in November. This
second book contains the special masses for particular saints days, again beginning around the first Sunday in Advent and continuing around the year.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Indeed there is supposed to be another ‘big book’ at our other site which has not made its way to me yet, so I am guessing that would likely be the 1<sup>st</sup> book mentioned. An interesting journey of discovery already and it is only
just beginning.<o:p></o:p></p>

there is no title page or colophon and the top edge of the first few pages where there is a title (for the song on that page?) written have been partially eaten away. Adding to that is that the style of the font used makes it difficult for me to decipher
