Case Western Reserve University Leaf 08
This leaf is from a 13th century English gradual, and measures 18 x 12cm. It contains text and music for the celebration of the post-Easter season. See Denison University Leaf 08 for more information about this manuscript.
Text: Lines taken from "Ad felicem episcopum de pascha," a poem/song probably written by Venantius Fortunatus (c.530-600). This leaf may therefore have been near Leaf 08 from the University of South Carolina portfolio in Ege's original manuscript.

Ad cantus revocatur aves, quae carmine clauso
pigrior hiberno frigore muta fuit.
Hinc philomena suis ad

fitque repercusso dulcior aura melo.
Namque triumphanti post tristia Tartara Christo
undique fronde nemus, gramina flore favent.
Legibus inferni oppressis super astra meantem
laudant rite deum lux polus arva fretum.
Qui crucifixus erat, deus ecce per omnia regnat,
