General Description

An Antiphonal written by St. Vincent of Breslau. The polyphonic Lesson is in the main corpus, but this was probably a slightly later supplement (early 16th century). It is possibly related to a copy of the piece at PL-WRu505. The notation is the same as that found in PL-WRu505.

Diese Handschrift ist ein aus dem Breslauer St. Vinzenzstift stammendes Antiphonar des ausgehenden 15. oder frühesten 16. Jh. Die mehrstimmige Lektion steht zwar im Hauptcorpus, wurde hier aber wohl etwas später (frühes 16. Jh.) nachgetragen. Es handelt sich möglicherweise um eine Kopie des Stückes nach PL-WRu505.

This manuscript, written by St. Vincent of Breslau is an Antiphonal from the end of the 15th or early 16th Century. The polyphonic Lesson is in the main corpus, but this was probably a slightly later supplement (early 16th century). It is possibly related to a copy of the piece at PL-WRu505.
