Two cuttings from a Noted Missal with readings for the Office of St. Willibald, in Latin, manuscripts on parchment [southern Germany, twelfth century] One large strip and a smaller piece, both from a single manuscript, with remains of 6 lines of text in two sizes of a good Romanesque hand, music added in simple neumes above words with clef or stave lines, tall capitals touched in red, marks for responses and similar in red, recovered from reuse in a binding and hence with some scuffs and losses, offset and areas with glue remaining, overall fair condition and on heavy parchment, 68 by 223 and 55 by 82mm. Willibald (d. c . 787) was an Anglo-Saxon missionary from Wessex who travelled to Rome with his father (St. Richard the Pilgrim) and brother (St. Winibald), and then on to Naples, Sicily, Greece and the Holy Land. He spent time at Montecassino and went on to serve St. Boniface in Germany. He founded a monastery at Eichstätt in 742, and then served that region as bishop for a further four decades.
