General Description

A Discantus partbook from a set of three volumes, each consisting of the prints RISM 1560/7, 1569/9, and 1569/10 plus manuscript additions. The additions are disordered, with the pieces in a different order in each book. Parts for only 1 piece are copied in all 3 books; 5 pieces are copied in 2 of the books, but most of the pieces (14) have only one part copied. Pieces are identified by text incipits only. From the Church of St. Aegidi in Bártfa. Brought to the National Library in Budapest in 1915.

Date

Most of the pieces appear to date from the 1540s/1550s, but stylistic information suggests they were copied into the books around the turn of the century (MurTVB). The date 1648 is apparently written in the manuscript (CCM).
