Page of Latin verse text in Caroline minuscule with neumes (musical markings) over the text on the first half of the page)

found first a hymn about St. Ansbert. With #neumes! I wanted to be sure this wasn't the verse life listed in the MS description, so I read a few lines and it's immediately apparent: it's in rhythmic trochaic tetrameter catalectic, hymn meter par excellence. #poeticmeter #musicalnotation
