RISM BIV/4: 15. Jh.; 66 Blätter Papier, 296 x 201 mm. Moderne Foliierung von f. 1-66. Je Seite meist 10 Vier- oder Fünfliniensysteme mit älterer und jüngerer, böhmischer und gotischer Choralnotation sowie vereinzelt schwarzer Mensuralnotation des frühen 15. Jh. - Einband: 19. Jh.; hellgelbes Leder mit vergoldeten Schließen (ursprünglicher Einband vor 1895: mit Pergament überzogene Holzdeckel).

Diese am Anfang und Ende unvollständige Handschrift, die vorwiegend Meßgesänge sowie Hymnen und Lieder in lateinischer, tschechischer und deutscher Sprache enthält und daher als Gradual-Kantionale zu bezeichnen ist, stammt vermutlich aus Nagyszombat (heute Trnava). Sie wurde in der ersten Hälfte des 15. Jh. von verschiedenen Händen geschrieben. Bemerkenswert sind die Konkordanzen mit D-TR322. - Im 16. Jh. befand sich die Handschrift im Besitze der Familie Révay, die nach der Schlacht bei Mohács nach Oberungarn ging. Im 19. Jh. gehörte die Handschrift dem Archäologen Fl. Romer, der sie 1866 der Ungarischen Nationalbibliothek geschenkt hat.

Inhalt: f. 2-9v Dorothea-Offizium; f. 10-15 Johannes Passion und Liber generationis; f. 16-22 Präfationen; f. 24-27 Lamentationen; f. 28-42v Hymnen (zum Teil mit lateinischem-deutschem Text); f. 43-47 Lamentationen und Oratio Jeremiae; f. 48v-50 siehe Incipitverzeichnis; f. 50v-53 tschechische und lateinische Gesänge; f. 55V-65V Kyriale.

[Translation: RISM BIV / 4: 15th Century, 66 sheets of paper, 296 x 201 mm. Modern foliation of f. 1-66. Each page usually contains 10 four-or five-line staves with older and newer Bohemian and Gothic chant notation, and isolated black mensural of the early 15th Century - Binding: 19th Century; yellow leather with gilded clasps (Original binding before 1895: wooden boards covered with parchment).

This manuscript, incomplete at the beginning and end, is a Gradual-Kantional and is mainly Mass chant and hymns and songs in Latin, English and German. It probably originated from Nagyszombat (modern, Trnava). It was written in the first half of the 15th Century by different hands. The concordance with D-TR322 is remarkable. In the 16th Century the manuscript was in the possession of the family Révay who, after the Battle of Mohács, moved to Upper Hungary. In the 19th Century, the manuscript belonged to the archaeologist Fl. Romer, who donated it to the Hungarian National Library as a gift in 1866.

Contents: f. 2-9v Dorothea Office f. 10-15 St. John Passion and Liber generationis; Preface f. 16-22, f. 24-27 Lamentation, f. 28-42v hymns (some with Latin-English text ); f. 43-47 Lamentation and Oratio Jeremiae f. 48V-50 see Incipit list f. 50v-53 Czech and Latin chants, f. 55V-65V Kyriale.]
