The punctus flexus punctuation and the inclusion of St. Hugh of Lincoln, the second-most prominent saint (behind Bruno) in the Carthusian Order, suggest that the manuscript belonged to a Carthusian monastery. The mentions of St. Jerome and St. Katherine of Siena suggest the manuscript may have been tied to the Hieronymites of Fiesole. Includes a hymn in square notation on 4-line staves in red ink (f. 22r-25r).Carthusians -- LiturgyCatholic Church -- Prayers and devotions -- Early works to 1800Catholic ChurchCarthusiansFuneral rites and ceremoniesFuneral service -- Catholic ChurchMonastic and religious life -- Early works to 1800Monastic and religious lifeGregorian chants -- ManuscriptsGregorian chantsLiturgicsCodicesManuals (instructional materials)Rituals (liturgical books)Gregorian chantsManuscripts LatinManuscripts RenaissancePrayers and devotionsPrayersDevotional literatureCatholic StudiesLiturgy and WorshipRenaissance StudiesArticle
