    Description

    This amazing sheet, folio, was purchased in Genoa in 1950, when pages of Gregorian chant were being separated from their original volumes after WW2 to bring more money into collectors' hands. It was purchased by an Italian family to help their own city reconstruct its museums and gallerys.
    It is very heavy, with 2 hooks to hang in a space where both sides can be seen. The double glass makes it heavy, close to 16 pounds.
    The purchaser will be responsible for all shipping costs.
