This image shows the reverse of a cutting with a decorated initial from an antiphonary. The musical notation is an early form of a style of notation called 'Hufnagelschrift' that is found mostly in late medieval Germanic chant manuscripts. It is so called because of the resemblance of the neumes to a horseshoe-nail, which in German is called 'hufnagel.'
