Fifteenth-century liturgical manuscripts with notation in the Municipal Library of Trento
Abstract
The Trentino abounds in musical manuscripts and fragments of plainsong of the fifteenth century which are of considerable importance and which have been up to now neglected by scholars and researchers. The importance of these musical and liturgical documents is increased by the fact that, in most cases, these books were used in the same geographical area, and at the same period of compilation, as the celebrated musical Trento codex of fifteenth-century polyphony. The largest collection of manuscripts of this type is to be found in the Municipal Library of Trento (BCT) and consists of the following codices:- BCT, ms. 1588: Vesperae et Missae sanctorum (Antiphoner-Gradual);
- BCT, ms. 1617: Gradual-Vesperale of 1492, from Prazöll (Bolzano);
- BCT, ms. 1787: with the lives and Offices of Saints Emmerano and Wolfgang;
- BCT,.ms. W 1795: Historiae rhythmicae of Saints Stanislas, Adalbert and Hedwig;
- BCT, ms. 1947/1: Gradual (25-28 December)-Antiphoner;
- BCT, ms. 1826: Franciscan Antiphoner de sanctis.
