14th Century Bangor Pontifical on Display
| Bangor Cathedral's 700-year-old treasure comes home more: http://news.bbc.co.uk/local/northwestwales/hi/people_and_places/religion_and_ethics/newsid_9385000/9385183.stm | |
A precious 700-year-old manuscript will be on view at Bangor Cathedral for one day when a service is held to celebrate its return to the city. The Bangor Pontifical is a 14th Century bishop's manuscript, containing blessings and text of plainchant. It has recently been conserved and rebound, but will now be kept for safety in Bangor University's archive. A service on Sunday will include several plainchant melodies newly transcribed from the document. | |
