Il s'agit bien de l'usage liturgique de Chartres ...
La Bretagne employait pour ses livres liturgiques une notation neumatique
particulière qui était également appliquée partiellement à l'abbaye de
Saint-Père de Chartres (voir par ex. le graduel CHARTRES BM 47, Xème s.,
publié dans "Paléographie Musicale", vol. XI, Solesmes)
Pour ce qui est du nom de Yves, il semble dérivé de deux prototypes : l'un,
Yves/Yvon, français/germanique, l'autre Eozen, breton. "Eozen" vient de
"Eudon". Le nom fut sans doute popularisé en France du Nord par la renommée
de Yves de Chartres. En Bretagne, le "Cartulaire de Redon", dans ses 273
actes des IXe-Xe s. ne fait mention d'aucun "IVO". Avant la mort de saint
Yves, le nom était déjà très courant. Son procès de canonisation cite par
ex. "Eudo seu Yvo Bruni", "Yvo Bruni alias dictus Eudo Bruni". Mais dans la
plupart des cas YVO se rapporte au nom breton EUDON. Le "Catholicon" de
1464, le plus anciens des dictionnaires trilingues, donne : "Euzen, g(alleg)
Yvon, l(atin) Yvo, -onis".

> Que sait-on de cette "usage de Chartres"?
they way your source is punctuated, it looks like the term refers to a
certain
kind of binding using wooden boards, peculiar to Chartres.
more likely, however, it refers to the origin of this gradual, which must
show
signs of antiphons used in the diocese of Chartres, does it not?
but, i'm no liturgist and have no idea what those might look like or what
distinctive features they might display.
the "a la usage de XXX" term is quite common, i believe, especially when
referring to the origin of Books of Hours, Psalters, Breviaries, Ordinals,
Collectars, Customaries, etc. --any service book which would display
characteristics distinctive to a particular diocese (or Order, etc.).
just a guess.
there were, apparently, quite a few Bretons in the Chartrain region in the
11th & 12th centuries, but i don't know enough about the later period to say
if these connections persisted into that epoch.
i see now that it is your *inventory* which dates from the early 17th
century,
not the two graduals.
can you determine the date of the manuscripts themselves?
they don't happen to survive, i suppose?
manuscripts from Chartres have been much rarer since this happened to the
city
library in 1944

is it possible that St. Yves of Brittany was named after St. Ivo of
Chartres?
best from here,
christopher
