A Fragment of the Graduale Varadiense at the Romanian Academy Library in Cluj (Kolozsvár)

Abstract

In 1872, Bishop János Zalka of Győr (Jaurinum, Raab) undertook the restauration of a lavishly illuminated fifteenth-century antiphonary owned by his diocese, and inscribed his name on a parchment leaf added at the beginning of the newly rebound manuscript. The entire operation and the book itself were described by Flóris Rómer in an article published a few years later.
