The cover of the Stowe Missal has four interlaced designs in the corners which appear to be encoded music. See Miscellanea Musica Celtica by James Travis. Musicological Studies, Vol 14. (The Institute of Medieval Music, Ltd. Brooklyn, New York.) The discovery of this unusual form of musical encoding is attributed to John Cargill, a memorial designer for the Charles G. Blake Company of Chicago. His Notes on the Old Cross at Canna lay buried in a library for 40 years before it was rediscovered and the importance of his work understood. Several other examples have been found in the British Isles that contain recognizable Irish melodies that were used in church services. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Siegeltuch (talkcontribs) 02:19, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
