Abstract: 
[Actually an Antiphonal, since this is a hymn for Lauds. Notation is standard square with a red line and F clef for the F pitch. The hymn is for the Feast of St. John the Evangelist (Magnus Iohannes emicat), but is not in modern use. The recto is undermost. Other hymns with the same text (Sollumnis dies advenit) but in different modes appear in Bruno Stablein's work, so have different melodies.]
