Notes

The flyleaf of this ninth-century copy of Eusebius's Historia Ecclesiastica comes from a tenth-century missal containing Breton neumes. Although we cannot rule out that this missal was written in a Breton scriptorium, the presence of Breton neumes is not a sufficient proof in favour of such an origin ( pace Huglo (1963: 67).
