General Description

Motet on recto. Its text (in Latin on recto, with German translation on verso) praises Jost von Silenen, Bishop of Sitten 1482-96. The motet is stylistically congruent with two other dedicatory pieces by Frank in HradKM 7 and WarU 2016; all three pieces share thematic material (StaeBF). Copied in Bern; presented to Jost von Silenen, Bishop of Sitten.
