Vollaerts' "Rhythmic Proportions in Early Medieval Ecclesiastical Chant"

Hello, following a search for Vollaerts' "Rhythmic Proportions in Early Medieval Ecclesiastical Chant" I noticed on the forum that one member managed to obtain a scanned copy. Unfortunately the download link they posted has now expired. I'd be most grateful if someone could share the work with me. Happy to pay both-ways postage for a hard copy to look at. I've managed to find PDFs of a few of Dom Gregory Murray's related articles. Thanks and regards, Tim

There is a PDF here, but I don't know the copyright status, as Vollaerts died only 62 years ago. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nKAu-FURapZ1WG-ITQ0D_dVLC5Nwa3pX/view
That Google drive does not belong to me. Unfortunately it is not an OCR scan with searchable text. For that, the Google Books preview will be helpful:

In Canada that has been public domain since 2011, 50 years after the posthumous second edition date on is title page.

for those interested in mensuralism in Gregorian chant
there is a site https://www.cantatorium.com/ with proportional values transcriptions. In the youtube there is singing examples of the site: https://youtu.be/2HMVpGR2ISI

@tim-uk: I have a copy of the 1958 edition in very good condition that I am willing to part with. This copy is also signed by the person who wrote the posthumous foreword: A.M.A. Vollaerts pr -brother of the author.
