Publisher's Synopsis

Excerpt from The Antiphonary of Bangor, Vol. 2: An Early Irish Manuscript in the Ambrosian Library at Milan

But there is nothing to prove and little to support such a suggestion in the case of the Bangor ms. On the contrary, the completeness of the gatherings of which it is composed; the large capital A on f. 1r. And the motto on its top margin; the fact that Irish Psalters were almost always divided into three divisions of fifty Psalms each, and that Canticles and Collects, if added at all, were inserted at the beginning or end of these divisions, instead of being written together at the end of the volume 1 the general and, to a certain extent, systematic character and arrangement of the contents of the Bangor ms. Put such a suggestion out of court.
