RISM Description
RISM BIV/3: 16. Jh.; 272 Blätter Papier, 137 x 100 mm. Originalfoliierung ab 3. Blatt von f. 1-270. Je Seite meist 5 Fünfliniensysteme mit gotischer Choralnotation, deutscher choral-mensuraler Mischnotation und weißer Mensuralnotation - Einband: 16. Jh.; Pergamenttasche mit Bindfadenverschluß.
Diese auf dem 1. Blatt (Register) als Responsoriale bezeichnete Handschrift wurde in der ersten Hälfte des 16. Jh. großenteils von Stephan Roth (vergleiche D-Zr119), aber auch von anderen Händen in Zwickau geschrieben. Bei den zum Hauptcorpus gehörenden und mehrfach als Introitus bezeichneten Stücken sind den einzelnen Stimmen oft verschiedene Strophen desselben Liedes unterlegt. Beachtenswert sind die textlichen und zum Teil auch musikalischen Beziehungen zum böhmischen Repertoire. Die Texte sind mehrheitlich lateinisch, vereinzelt deutsch oder auch doppelsprachig. Bei einigen Stücken sind die Stimmbezeichnungen invers geschrieben: Ronet, Sussab.
Inhalt: Blatt 1/2 (ohne Foliierung) originales Register (inklusive mehrstimmige Stücke); f. 1-248 vorwiegend Matutin-Responsorien des Sanctorale und der wichtigsten Christfeste, Introitus-Motetten, Kantionen; f. 249/250 deutscher Dorothea-Liedtext; f. 251-262 leer (?); f. 263-264 siehe Incipitverzeichnis; f. 265-270 Weihnachtsliedtexte.
