Ranworth Antiphoner
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ranworth Antiphoner is a 15th Century illuminated antiphoner. It was used at St. Helen's Church, Ranworth prior to the Reformation. It disappeared for about 300 years. In the 1850s it was in the collection of Henry Huth. Its provenance was not appreciated until 1912, when it was offered sale. It was bought and returned to Saint Helen's Church where it is now on display.
The manuscript was bequeathed to the church in 1478. It was produced by the monks of Langley Abbey and consists of 285 vellum pages of writing and illustrations, with daily services in medieval Latin and nineteen miniatures.
