RISM Description

RISM BIV/3: 15. Jh.; 123 + 1 Vorsatzblatt, Papier, sowie je ein modernes Vorsatz- und Nachstoßblatt, 310 x 220 mm. 1-8 rote oder schwarze Vier- und Fünfliniensysteme mit böhmischer Choralnotation (zum Teil mit mensuralen Elementen) und schwarze Mensuralnotation (mehrstimmige Stücke). - Einband: modernes Leder.

Diese vielleicht aus Prag stammende, für die Geschichte des hussitischen Gesanges wichtigste Handschrift ist eine Abschrift aus der Mitte des 15. Jh. des um 1420 geschriebenen sog. urhussitischen Kantionals von Jistebnice. Sie wurde 1874 von Pfarrer Schullera dem Nationalmuseum geschenkt.

Inhalt: Die Handschrift enthält die wichtigsten Gesänge und Dokumente der radikal hussitischen Liturgie (unter anderem auch Lieder von Jan Hus und Jan Čapek). Die Texte sind meist tschechisch.
