*Manuscript Frisket sheet fragment. A fragment from a liturgical manuscript with musical notation, probably France 15th century; subsequently reused as a printing mask 'Frisket' and overprinted in red ink in the early 16th century, comprising four vellum fragments professionally rejoined using collagen skin, recto with 16 lines of manuscript text in black & red, one initial in blue and one larger initial in red, with four lines of music each on 4-line red staves, verso with 20 lines of manuscript text in black & red, with short portion of music on 4-line red stave, the reverse also overprinted with text in red ink, with parts of manuscript cut-out to allow for red ink to be printed through when reused as a frisket mask, during subsequent use in the early 17th century the manuscript was cut into strips (4 in this case) and reused as strengthening in a binding, maximum dimensions 231 x 142mm (approximately 9 x 5.5 inches), professionally contained in conservation mount This manuscript begins with part of "Tantum ergo", being the last two verses of the hymn "Pange Linqua", which was sung on Corpus Christi or Maundy Thursday. The four individual fragments were discovered in a folio 3 volume Greek & Latin Bible, "Vetus Testamentum..." published Paris: Nicolaum Buon, 1628 (Darlow & Moule 4674), when undergoing restoration in the 1990s. Friskets are a rare survival which illustrate the early printing of books in red and black ink. They were often disposed of once their use had ended and therefore only a few examples survive. A frisket is a sheet of material which was used during the early printing process. It was placed between the paper and the printing block, to mask off and protect unprinted areas of the paper sheet from stray ink, allowing all but the red rubrics to be printed through. As a result of this technique the frisket sheet was overprinted in red letterpress. Early printers often recycled medieval manuscript leaves for this purpose, and some were then reused during the bookbinding process. See Margaret M. Smith, "Fragments used for 'Servile' Purposes: The St Bride Library Frisket for Early Red Printing," in Linda L. Brownrigg and Margaret M. Smith, eds., Interpreting and Collecting Fragments of Medieval Books (Los Altos Hills, Calif.: Red Gull Press, 2000), pp.177-188; and noted by Smith in the St. Bride Journal 'Ultrabold 3' (2007): "The Red-Printing Frisket at St. Bride Library." Elizabeth Savage (Upper). "Red Frisket Sheets, c.1490-1700: The Earliest Artefacts of Colour Printing in the West." Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America 108, no. 4 (December 2014): pp.477-522, who lists 21 in total. " This complex object, a manuscript leaf that was re-used first as a frisket sheet for printing selected text in red in one book and then in the pasteboard in the binding of another, is the earliest artifact of any color printing process in the West."
