General Description

Of the two MSS with shelfmarks 505 and 506 the Antiphonal is known today as the Tomus estivalis (R. 505). It is certainly not impossible that f. 1-20 of manuscript 506 were lost. The Antiphonale comes from the Church of St. Elizabeth at Wroclaw. Manuscript 505 is dated 13th Dec. 1426 (f. 229v).

RISM Description

RISM BIV/4: 15. Jh.; 257 Blätter Pergament, 470 x 320 mm. Zwei moderne Foliierung: Tintenfoliierung von f. 1-276 (im Incipitverzeichnis verwendet); wohl etwas ältere Bleistiftfoliierung ab f. 20 (differiert von Tintenfoliierung um minus 20). Je Seite 8 Fünfliniensysteme mit gotischer Choralnotation (zum Teil mit schwarz-rot-Färbung bei 2-stimmigen Stücken). - Ohne Einband.

Von den beiden unter Sign. 505 und 506 bekannten Antiphonaren ist heute nur noch der Tomus estivalis (R. 505) erhalten. Es ist allerdings nicht ausgeschlossen, dass f. 1—20 aus der verlorenen Handschrift 506 stammen (vergleiche oben zur Foliierung). Der Band ist durch Feuer stark beschädigt. Die Antiphonare stammen aus der Breslauer Hauptkirche St. Elisabeth. Handschrift 505 ist mit 13. Dez. 1426 datiert (f. 229v).
