The above is from Penn Ms. Codex 1572 a 14th century manuscript Gradual (liturgical music book) from Bressanone, Italy. The dragon-shaped initial ‘G’ begins a chant for Midnight mass at Christmas “Grates nunc omnes reddamus domino deo…” [Thanks let us render all to the lord God…]. Merry Christmas from Unique at Penn!
