In liturgical manuscripts, the presence of musical notation – and especially neumatic notation – can be a reliable asset for establishing both a date and a place of origin:Footnote 1 it is possible, based on the shapes of the neumatic notation, to localise the manuscript in a much more precise way than when relying on only analysis of the text script. This kind of analysis gives the best results when the notation is clearly recognisable as belonging to a well-established tradition; however, the same notation can be used in different areasFootnote 2 and different notation could have coexisted in the same region.Footnote 3 In addition, some forms of notation have been much more deeply studied than others. That is, we do not always have a precise frame of reference for all the neumatic types that exist.
Among neumatic notations, scholars usually make a distinction between French and English types. These are two different renderings of the continental Frankish notation,Footnote 4 but they are distinguished by a number of palaeographical features. In this study, I present the case of seventy-two fragments from a twelfth-century notated pontifical whose origin is under consideration: they have been assigned either to northern France or to England, according to different features. The examination of these fragments shows not only how complex the evaluation of their features is, but also to what extent certain acquired features can be misleading and may need to be reconsidered.
The fragments
Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF), NAL 1989 is a volume of fifty-two medieval fragments. Most of these fragments come from bindings of BnF manuscripts and printed books, although sometimes they have been acquired by the BnF through purchase or donation. NAL 1989 was bound between 1909 and 1910, since its first description appears in Henri Omont's article on the BnF's acquisitions for these two years.Footnote 5 Omont provides a short introduction where he highlights some of the most important pieces acquired or donated to the BnF; unfortunately, he does not give any detail about the origin of the fragments or their specific content.Footnote 6 Most of the fragments did not receive a proper description, with few exceptions.Footnote 7
The fragments under discussion here are fols. 3–7, which were originally part of a twelfth-century pontifical. The script is not the same for all fragments.Footnote 8 Fols. 3–4 display the Latin and Greek alphabets that a bishop had to trace with his crosier during the dedication of a church: the alphabets are written in capitals by a hesitant hand that is clearly different from the main hand.Footnote 9 Moreover, fol. 6 displays a prayer, copied by another hand, surrounded by blank space, which appears to be an addition, probably at the beginning of the manuscript. The verso of fol. 6, originally blank, has been used to write the index of the volume, which is actually a pontifical, in a seventeenth-century cursive hand:
This index gives the detail of the content of the original manuscript, confirming that fol. 6 was the first leaf of the pontifical. Thanks to this index, we now know the length of the manuscript (at least 102 leaves), and the order of its content. However, the leaf is trimmed at the bottom, after its last actual entry, so other ordines could have been part of the original book.
Fragments from the pontifical of NAL 1989 have been studied, in respect of their notation and musical content, as part of the project MANNO (Manuscrits notés en neumes en Occident), where the notation is described as French and the fragments are assigned to northern France.Footnote 10 NAL 1989 fragments came to our attention when a series of uncatalogued fragments were recovered in the BnF's repository:Footnote 11 among them, sixty-seven fragments that belong to the same original manuscript as the NAL 1989 fragments were found.Footnote 12 Fragments without shelf marks (hereafter WS-fragments) are kept in a box with other medieval fragments, dated from the eleventh to the fifteenth century, and some modern fragments. The WS-fragments are held together and tied with a string; they have roughly the same dimensions and they were probably used to thicken a binding board. They display no marks of provenance, but a note left with the fragments reveals that they come from the historian and collector Seymour de Ricci.Footnote 13 This same note suggests an English origin of the fragments.Footnote 14
De Ricci bequeathed the whole of his notes to the BnF at his death in 1942, but the fact that fragments from the very same manuscript are in NAL 1989, which was bound in the years 1909–10, implies that de Ricci entrusted the fragments to the BnF at a much earlier date.Footnote 15 Otherwise we should speculate that de Ricci's collection is not the real source of the fragments, or that the two groups of fragments (the NAL 1989 and the WS-fragments) were acquired separately by the BnF.
A provisional number has been assigned to each of the WS-fragments, according to the order in which they now appear. The reconstruction of the original manuscript has highlighted the presence of fragments belonging to the same leaf and also of consecutive leaves; however, the number of lacunae is still considerable, to the point that it is not possible to recover a complete ordo. Moreover, one of the fragments displays some prayers for the ordo synodalis, which does not appear in the index. Assuming that there is a lacuna at the end of the list, it is possible that this part might have been placed at the end of the original book.
The original manuscript was a medium-sized pontifical of 270 × 180 mm (writing frame 175 × 100 mm) and it had twenty long lines per page. Ruling is traced with a dry point on the hair side, with double vertical frame-lines (Muzerelle 2–2/0/0/J), and the ruling unit is of 8.8 mm.Footnote 16 Regarding its codicological features, this pontifical is similar to London, British Library, add. 57337Footnote 17 (315 × 285 mm; twenty-two long lines) and mostly to Oxford, Magdalen College, 226Footnote 18 (250 × 170 mm, nineteen long lines). From the seventy-two fragments, we can reconstruct fifty-six original leaves, as is shown in Table 1.
Reconstruction of the original pontifical
Note: The vertical bar (|) separates two consecutives leaves; the plus (+) associates fragments forming a single original leaf; a and b indicate the two leaves of a bifolium.
Some of these fragments are contiguous leaves in the original manuscript; however, it is impossible to establish whether they were originally part of the same quire or if they belonged to adjacent quires.
The texts
The BnF-fragments (NAL 1989 fols. 3–7 + WS-fragments) contain four incomplete litanies: two for the dedication, one for the baptism and one for the order of the sick. The first litany for the dedication shows that the BnF-fragments do not perfectly match litanies from the MagdalenFootnote 19 or the St AndrewsFootnote 20 pontificals. Nevertheless, the list is closer to that of the Magdalen Pontifical; the list of the virgins is identical, while St Andrews omits Bathildis and Euphemia and adds Birgit and Catherine (Table 2).
Saints of the first litany for the dedication of a church
The second litany is quite different in the three sources: here the BnF-fragments display a much greater similarity with the St Andrews Pontifical, specifically in the presence of St Lucy and in the common invocation Omnis chorus instead of Omnes sancti (Table 3).Footnote 21
Saints of the second litany for the dedication of a church
What is particular to this litany is indeed the presence of the petitions ‘Ab inimicis nostris defende nos Christe, afflictionem benignus vide, dolorem cordis nostri respice clemens, peccata populi tui pius indulge’,Footnote 22 which is not very common. The BnF-fragments share this short list of petitions with four tenth-century Anglo-Saxon pontificals – the Sherbourne Pontifical,Footnote 23 the Anderson Pontifical,Footnote 24 the Egbert PontificalFootnote 25 and the Pontifical of Robert of JumiègesFootnote 26 – as well as with six eleventh-century English pontificals,Footnote 27 but none of them has the same list of saints for this litany and, most surprisingly, almost none of them has St Dunstan,Footnote 28 who appears instead in the BnF-fragments for this specific litany. As we shall see, this detail can be assessed as evidence of the fragments’ origins.
The third litany, for the ordo infirmorum,Footnote 29 has a partial concordance in Cambridge, Trinity College, B.11.10, a twelfth-century pontifical from Ely;Footnote 30 however, the Ely litany is much more local than that of the fragments, and no direct connection seems to exist between the two (Table 4). In this litany the most unexpected saint is Leonard, who is attested at the end of the list of the confessors and monks. Leonard does not appear in any of the English pre-ConquestFootnote 31 litanies while he is found in ninety-eight monastic litanies of the post-Conquest period,Footnote 32 confirming that his presence is not necessarily a sign of continental origin of the fragments, and can instead be ascribed to the continental influences on English liturgy from the twelfth century onwards.Footnote 33
Saints in the litany for the ordo infirmorum
The fourth litany appears at the end of the ordo baptismi: no concordances are found, since the Magdalen Pontifical does not have any litany for this ordo and the St Andrews Pontifical lacks the ordo baptismi. This litany differs from the preceding ones in some respects, and precisely for the presence of some apparently continental saints, such as Audoenus (bishop of Rouen), Iulianus (bishop of Le Mans), Samson and MacloviusFootnote 34 (two bishops of Dol, in Brittany). Even though they might point to a northern French origin of the fragments, these saints were included in English calendars after the Conquest and some of them even before the Conquest.Footnote 35
The infiltration of continental saints in the English sanctoral makes the litanies less useful than they usually are in providing decisive arguments for establishing the origin of the fragments: we are then forced to look at other details in order to recognise critical elements. One of them is the hymn Audi iudex mortuorum with the refrain O redemptor, which is sung during the consecration of the chrism. In the BnF-fragments, this hymn has two additional stanzas inserted between the first and second stanza of the Analecta Hymnica edition.Footnote 36 The apparatus of the Analecta Hymnica lists a great number of sources where the hymn is attested; however, the edition points to the fact that these two stanzas are found in two English manuscripts: Cambridge, University Library, Ll.2.10 – a twelfth-century pontifical of Canterbury – and Oxford, Bodleian Library, Laud. misc. 4 – a processional of Tynemouth, copied before 1179.Footnote 37
The BnF-fragments seem to be closer to English sources than to continental ones. Doubts could arise with respect to some unique features, as in the benediction of the spouses: here there are some benedictions (Appendix, nos. 126 and 127) that are found only in one source, the ordo III edited by Edmond Martène, which is based on a pontifical from the Benedictine abbey of Lyre, in Normandy.Footnote 38
In addition, the prayer Solus ineffabilis (Appendix, no. 28) has a unique concordance with the St Andrews Pontifical, yet not in the same position. The difficulty in evaluating these contradictory aspects resides precisely in the fact that the presence of a text in an English or continental source does not necessarily imply that the text constitutes in itself a typically English or continental trait. In this respect, palaeography can bring an essential and sometimes decisive contribution.
Script, notation and music
The script of the BnF-fragments is a Caroline minuscule, assigned to the second half of the twelfth century; it is widely spaced, round and upright, with an overall impression of a very well-trained scribe.Footnote 39 Among the main features it is worth mentioning that ascenders are not very developed and are smaller than the minims; vertical strokes and descenders are finished by means of a slightly sloping angular foot; a has an ample curving head and a rounded loop; d is always upright; e has the cauda for the diphthong ae; & has the oblique stroke closed by a tick on the left; f is on the base line; g has an eight shape, with both loops closed, the lower one made in three strokes; m, n and u have a squarish appearance; s is always tall at the end of words; t is formed by a rounded stroke and a perfectly horizontal one, and the final t often has a downward tick at the end of the headstroke; and x has the left-hand lower stroke curling round the base of a preceding letter.Footnote 40 Typical English features are the general neat, round and upright aspect, the 8-like g with the lower part made in three separate strokes, the final tick on t, and the form of x.Footnote 41
The script is somewhat close to that of the manuscript Douai, Bibliothèque Municipale, 67,Footnote 42 a pontifical copied in the first half of the twelfth century at Canterbury or Winchester, whose script is, however, a little more rounded and less calligraphic.Footnote 43 An even closer resemblance is with the so-called Ely Pontifical, now Cambridge, University Library, Ll.2.10, copied in Canterbury in the mid-twelfth century.Footnote 44 Our fragments display also a typical use of colour initials, where blue, red, green and yellow are alternated: this feature is found in manuscripts produced either in England or in Normandy,Footnote 45 but the lack of illuminated or decorated initials makes any further speculation impossible.
The musical notation is similar to that of the Ely Pontifical, which has been defined by HileyFootnote 46 as ‘Anglo-Norman square notation’ and ‘prototypical square neumatic notation’ by Hartzell.Footnote 47 In the BnF-fragments, the notation, although still clearly neumatic, displays a general tendency towards a squared shaping of the notes.
The neumes are written on three or four red lines, with F and c clefs (Figure 1, nos. 17 and 18), and no custos appears at the end of the stave. The fluctuating number of lines could imply that the notation was not a part of the original project, and the fact that the notation has not been provided for some chants might confirm that.Footnote 48 Other English pontificals display the same tendency, such as the Ely Pontifical, where chants are on three or four red lines,Footnote 49 or the Magdalen Pontifical, which, despite the space, does not have any notation at all.
Neumes in the BnF-fragments.
Signs for a single note comprise punctum, virga and oriscus (Figure 1, no. 5). The punctum (nos. 1 and 2) is a wavy line that recalls somewhat the shape of the oriscus: a similar shape has been recognised as a tonal-neume, or a note that indicates the subsemitonal degree,Footnote 50 but in the BnF-fragments all the puncta display this form, whether they are in a semitonal position or not. The wavy punctum has been identified as a Lorraine feature by Marie-Noël Colette, who described the NAL 1989 fragments as originating from northern France.Footnote 51 The virga (no. 3) has the typical horizontal thick stroke and the descending inclined thin stroke; in two cases, the virga has the upper stroke to the right (no. 4).
Neumes for two notes are the pes (no. 6), with the second element to the left, and the clivis, which has two shapes: the most frequent type (no. 7) usually has the first stroke longer than the second, while the second type (no. 8) is found when the preceding note is on the same degree as the first note of the clivis. The same principle applies to the porrectus, which has a first horizontal stroke (no. 10) when the preceding note is higher or unison, and a round stroke (no. 11) when the preceding note is lower. Torculus (no. 9) and climacus (no. 12) display the typical Anglo-Norman forms. No specific sign for the scandicus was found: the ascending notes are always in composition with a pes. The notation of the fragments preserves some liquescent notes, mostly for two ascending (no. 14) or descending notes (no. 13), but also in composition with other neumes (nos. 15 and 16). Signs for B flat (no. 19) or B natural (no. 20) are commonly used. Even though the signs belong to the Anglo-Norman type, the use of the wavy punctum is distinctive, and requires further reflection.
English notation appears to be remarkably similar to French notation, since both of them derive from the so-called West Frankish musical script:Footnote 52 the main features that distinguish English notation from French notation are the long up and down strokes, perpendicular to the horizontal writing line, and rounded rather than hooked turns at the top.Footnote 53 The axis of the BnF-fragments is definitely inclined to the right, but this has been recognised as a feature of the late English notation;Footnote 54 the shape of the clivis, though, is the rounded English one. These elements must be carefully evaluated, since some continental scriptoria display English traits, such as Corbie,Footnote 55 and since the frequent exchanges between England and northern France encouraged the interactions between scribes and the combination between different writing traditions.
A conclusive argument is offered by the chants for the dedication of a church and their melodic tradition (Examples 1–9). Thomas KozachekFootnote 56 observed that the antiphons Ab oriente portae, Aedificavit Moyses, Domine ad te dirigatur, Exurgat deus, Fundamentum aliud, Haec aula and Qui regis are either unique or originally found in English pontificals: four of them are transmitted by the BnF-fragments,Footnote 57 including Fundamentum aliud, which is attested solely in English sources. It should also be noted that the antiphon Pax huic domui, which is widely used in English and continental pontificals, has in the BnF-fragments the Anglo-Saxon melodic version.Footnote 58 In addition, Helen Gittos recognised the three processions around the building for the dedication of a church, during which a litany is chanted (Appendix, nos. 8–9), as a typical feature of English rites.Footnote 59
Antiphon Benedic domine.
Antiphon Domine ad te.
Antiphon Ecce tabernaculum.
Antiphon Erexit Iacob.
Antiphon Fundamentum aliud.
Antiphon Haec aula.
Antiphon Mane surgens Iacob.
Antiphon O quam metuendus.
Antiphon Pax huic domui.
All the evidence points to the conclusion that the original pontifical was produced in England. Anglo-Saxon traits appear to be too numerous and too incontrovertible to be ascribed to exchanges between the two sides of the Channel, not to mention that influences were at work from the Continent to England rather than in the opposite direction.
Regarding French features, it has to be said that prayers and benedictions, for which a concordance with a source from the abbey of Lyre has been found,Footnote 60 do not appear to be decisive. Research on Benedictine monasteries in Normandy have shown that they were linked to a wider network that included English monasteries as well.Footnote 61 According to the tradition, Lyre was one of the places where Thomas Becket lived in exile during the years 1164–70:Footnote 62 he might have brought his books with him, so these benedictions could have been copied in a Lyre pontifical from an English source.
The palaeographical issue seems more sensitive: the wavy form of the punctum is particular to the notation used in the BnF-fragments and does not appear in any other English musical script. However, that its form might be the sign of a Messine influence is a matter of discussion. Messine notation rarely uses the punctum and prefers the tractulus, which is traced in two distinct strokes: a thin straight inclined stroke and a sort of hook, more or less pronounced. Now, the wavy punctum of the BnF-fragments does not have the structure – that is the number, order and direction of strokesFootnote 63 – of the Messine tractulus: although this seems a mere technical observation, it is a crucial one, since the structure has been recognised as a fundamental feature of a script as a coherent system of signs. The examination of a musical script should always consider not only the shape of each neume, but also the way the scribe traced them and the graphical frame of reference he used as a model.
Conclusions
Texts, script and notation suggest that the BnF-fragments come from an English pontifical. The pervasive presence of St Dunstan in the litanies points to Canterbury as the likely origin of the fragments: this assumption is supported by palaeographical and textual similarities with other pontificals copied at Canterbury.Footnote 64 As we have already seen, the BnF-fragments are close to the Ely Pontifical and to the Magdalen Pontifical, two almost contemporary sources that have been identified as related to Canterbury.Footnote 65
The original manuscript has been produced in the second half of the twelfth century, at the time of bishops Theobald of Bec, Thomas Becket, Richard of Dover, Baldwin and Hubert Walter. Conjecturing that the BnF-fragments might have been the direct source of the Lyre pontifical and might have been related to Thomas Becket himself would be a rather speculative assumption, although a very appealing one.
It is still unknown when the original manuscript had been dismembered and reused as binding material, and when it reached the Continent. It is possible that this process took place at the time of the dissolution of the monasteries in the sixteenth century; nevertheless, the history of the fragments remains unknown until their acquisition by the Bibliothèque nationale in the early twentieth century.
The case of the BnF-fragments is emblematic of the difficulty that exists in evaluating apparently contradictory features and in correctly interpreting them. Texts in the Middle Ages migrated from one region to another, and so did scribes and books, encouraging the circulation of scripts and notations and inspiring the development of new scribal practices and styles. The frequent exchanges between Normandy and England, before and after the Conquest, contributed to the expansion of continental features in England, resulting in products that show very similar and sometimes identical features. In this particular case, despite the massive importation of liturgical uses from the Continent, English pontificals proved to have persisted in preserving their own, unique character.

144 [65r] <Ipso die primo… In quarto etenim de sacrario…> scisso velo patuisse, simul et nove gratie ac veritatis evangelium lucidius sole per Iesum Christum ubique claruisse. In quinto siquidem tres quam speciosi pronuntiatores sancti evangelii comitentur, sindonibus circumamicti, ternas in nomine sancte trinitatis ante facies suas baiulantes quas supra retulimus ampullas. Quarum due purissimi olei liquore erunt referte singulatim ad singula my[66r]steria benedictione pontificali consecrande. Prima vero ad oleum infirmorum perfecta medicina, ad effugandas quoque egritudines et ad remissionem peccatorum, ut per apostolum instruimur. Infirmatur quis ex vobis, unguatur oleo salutari in nomine domini et allevabit eum dominus. Et si in peccatis sit, dimittentur ei. Secunda autem ad oleum sanctum unctio spiritualis ad confirmandos quoque in pectore et inter scapulas antequam baptizentur homines [65v] in sacramento baptismatis regenerandos. Tercia siquidem liquidum similiter continebit oleum, quod balsami commixtione divinis sacramentis purificatum chrisma efficietur sanctificatum ad consecrationes ecclesiasticas, ad promovendas dignitates omnibus etiam ad spem vivam et beate regenerationis novitatem transituris salubre et proficuum. In sexto videlicet victoriosa et adoranda procedat [66v] crux dominica una aut due, quasi precedentium mystica misteriorum prefiguratrix, quam in sexta etate deus dei filius natus et in ea passus sacri sanguinis lavacro sanctificavit. Cuius victoria redemptoris nostri vexilla prodeunt, cuius splendore ecclesia sancta illuminatur, cuius aroma corticis vitali spirans nectare ubique fragratur, cuius virtute pacis et gaudii karismata evangelizantur, cuius signaculo baptismi misterium et sacri chrismatis conficitur unguentum, per quam etiam ineffa<bilia…> [5r] <Perficiatque exorcismus audientibus tantum qui secus al>tare stant ministris minime dicens Dominus vobiscum, neque oremus, sed ita directe Exorcizo te inmundissime spiritus et refuga teque omnis incursio sathane. Et cetera que sequitur. [PMagd 160–161]
145 Exorcizo te inmundissime spiritus… qui celum <terram…> [5v] cooperante in eo… [PMagd 161]
146 Benedictio olei infirmorum absque Dominus vobiscum et Oremus.

148 [6r] <Alia benedictio Emitte quesumus… tua benedicti>one virtutem… in sacrata [9r] perunctione… [PMagd 162–163]
149 Hic removeatur ab altari dicatum oleum infirmorum a diacono et peragatur missa usquequo perveniatur ad benedictionem super populum. Tunc secundus accedat diaconus <ampullam cum oleo ad baptizandum deferens, super quam ter faciat episcopus, terque> [6v] in ea sufflans exorcismus olei ad baptizandum perficiat qui circumstant tantum audientibus.
