Abstract/Description
A Spanish manuscript has laid hidden in the rare books room of the Saint Meinrad Archabbey Library for years. Without any bibliographical information beyond its dimensions, its origin has remained a mystery. By looking for clues found within the book itself, it is possible to arrive at some tentative conclusions about its past history and age. By indexing the chant included in this manuscript, I hope to shed some light on its story.
