The basic source material of this study is a selected group of manuscript fragments of Norwegian provenance containing a particular type of medieval chant, generally referred to as “sequences”.1 The emphasis here is not primarily on the sequences, but on the fragments transmitting them and the physical evidence of books which once existed in Norway in complete form. This thesis explores how the fragments with sequences can be used to study a growing manuscript culture in the periphery and its innate European influences.
