Franco Ackermans's picture

On the neumes of Bamberg 50.
In general we see neumes of the Saint Gall type. All virgae have a little trait to the left.
Episemata are added to some clives and torculi.

In the psalmtone formula for mode 7 we normally see a quilisma pes on the first note of the terminatio. In Bamberg 50 we have a kind of virga strata. See In Populus Sion on salvan-DAS and in the psalm on ve-LUT.

The scribe uses an angular clivis starting with a horizontal stroke. Humerum E-jus, In Dilexi-STI, AL DI-es sanctificatus. Probably a melodic indication to show unison to the preceeding tone.

Litterae significative are absent. The t and s stand probably for tonus and semitonus, for t and s appear often combined.

Interesting is the regular use of tone-letters at the beginning of a chant or a verse.
