Today is the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Some reformed communities continued to celebrate the feast after the Reformation; here’s the Alleluia Assumpta est Maria!

There is something very special about working with the only extant copy of an #EarlyModern book; even more so when it’s heavily used and repaired. What a lovely way to spend a Monday!

Unfortunately the book is not digitized and I can’t share my images. But picture a hand-sized octavo volume with a liberally underlined preface that contains instructions for celebrating worship and lots of notated music.
