General Description

A Discantus partbook from a set originally of eight volumes. Copied by Christoph Nostwitz and others. All of the pieces are incomplete (7a pars missing): the first 20 pieces have only the Discantus part, nos. 21-23 exist in all remaining books, nos 24-30 have only the Bassus, and nos 31-50 are preserved as loose sheets from various voice parts.

Originated at the Löbau Latin school. The manuscript was at one time in the Löbau Ratsbibliothek, but was deposited at the library in Dresden in 1890.

DIAMM Note

Pieces 1-30 are included only in the books where they are known to be copied; pieces 31-50 (the loose sheets) are included in the inventory of the books corresponding to the number of voices, or in all books where the number of voices is unknown, pending identification of which parts exist for each piece.

8 of the first 20 pieces are texted but have no music. Most of the remainder are listed in SteudeMS as '1v', but it is not clear whether these are monophonic pieces, or only 1v (the Discantus) remains.
