Munich, also, with the Penitential Psalms, etc., by Hans Mielich.
Vienna, too, can show a magnificent Missal by Georg Hoefnagel, bearing
the dates 1582 to 1590. Venice is represented in the work of Benedetto
Bordone and the Ducali. Florence in the splendid Missals, etc., of
Attavante and his contemporaries.
Milan shows the gorgeous Graduals of the Brera belonging to the

pass from city to city almost all over Western Europe. The great Spanish
choir-books were almost all produced under Philip II. Several Papal
Service-books are represented in the fifteenth-and sixteenth-century
examples of the scrap-book 21412 of the British Museum; and the works of
Clovio, the most noted of Italian illuminators, all belong to the
