Students research music in Tufts Univ. MS 24, a Dominican miscellany from Northern Italy

Elettra Conoly ‘21 and Megan Szostak ‘22 share their research on music in Tufts Univ. MS 24, a Dominican miscellany from Northern Italy. 

This manuscript is a collection of writings and chants, with the first 225 folios being copied during the 15th century, and the following fifty folios copied in the late 13th or 14th century. MS 24 is categorized as a Dominican Miscellany for a number of reasons. It contains several writings by Thomas Aquinas, a Dominican friar, as well as two musical sequences often associated with the Dominican order.
