A chance discovery (new to us) of a leaf in Princeton from one of the manuscripts dispersed by Otto F. Ege<\/a> (1888\u20131951) leads us to report its presence in the context of our continuing work on the manuscript in question. It is “Ege Manuscript 22″<\/strong>, a Latin Missal<\/a> written in double columns of 30\u201332 lines in Gothic Script<\/a>, with musical notation<\/a>\u00a0in Hufnagelschrift<\/em><\/a> (\u201cHorseshoe-Nail Notes\u201d) on 4-Line Staves.<\/p>\n

The ‘Ege Number’ used in scholarly discourse designates the number assigned to the manuscript in the standard Handlist<\/em> of Otto Ege’s known manuscripts, compiled by Scott Gwara (2017), with updates in progress.<\/p>\n
