General Description

Manuscript of mixed spiritual and liturgical content. p. 1-52 antiphons, responsories; p. 52-56 Ordinarium; p. 57/58 Psalm texts; p. 58/59 'Almächtig got'; p. 60-75 Ordinarium; p. 76-83 Benedicamus, antiphons, p. 84-90 hymns, German Lieder, p. 90/91 Ordinariumssätze; p. 92-98 Passion Hymns for Liturgy, p. 99-146 Ordinariumssätze, inter alia responsories; p. 147ff.

RISM Description

RISM B/IV 3: 15. Jh.; 76 Blätter Papier + 1 Vorsatzblatt, 190 x 140 mm. Jüngere Pagination (17. Jh.) von p. 1-153 (es fehlen p. 100 und 101); originale Foliierung von f. XIIII-CIIII (= p. 2-153), einige Blätter fehlen (unter anderem zwischen f. LXXVI und LXXXXI). Je Seite 5-8 Fünfliniensysteme (meist mit roter F-Linie) mit gotischer Choralnotation und vereinzelt schwarzer Mensuralnotation - Einband: 18. Jh.; Karton mit Lederrücken.

Diese, entgegen dem Bibliothekskatalog, wohl schon der Mitte des 15. Jh. angehörende Handschrift mit gemischt geistlichem und liturgischem Inhalt, stammt vermutlich aus dem Besitz des vielgereisten P. Gallus Kemly (1417-gegen 1477) und ist vielleicht von diesem geschrieben worden. Der Zusammenhang mit St. Gallen ergibt sich aus dem auf p. 139ff. stehenden "Rex sanctorum" Ratberts und aus der wohl später hinzugefügten Eintragung auf p. 20: "O sancte Galle".

Inhalt: p. 1-52 Antiphonen, Responsorien; p. 52-56 Ordinarium; p. 57/58 Psalmtexte; p. 58/59 "Almächtig got"; p. 60-75 Ordinarium; p. 76-83 Benedicamus, Antiphonen; p. 84-90 Hymnen, deutsche Lieder; p. 90/91 Ordinariumssätze; p. 92-98 Gesänge zur Passionsliturgie; p. 99-146 Ordinariumssätze, Responsorien unter anderem; p. 147ff. Sequenzen.

[Translation] 76 sheets of paper + 1 flyleaf, 190 x 140 mm. Newer pagination (17th Century) gives pp. 1-153 (missing p. 100 and 101); Foliation of original f. XIIII-CIIII (pp. 2-153), some leaves are missing (among other things, between f. LXXVI and LXXXXI). Each page has 5-8 five-line systems (usually with a red F-line) with Gothic choral notation and isolated black mensural notation. Binding: 18 Century; boards with leather spine.

This manuscript, contrary to the library catalogue, was probably written by the middle of the 15th Century with mixed spiritual and liturgical content; it probably originates from the collection of the vielgereisten P. Gallus Kemly (1417-1477) and perhaps this was when it was written. The relationship with St. Gallen is on the p. 139ff. the "Rex sanctorum" by Ratberts and probably later added entry on p. 20: 'O sancte bile '.

Contents: p. 1-52 antiphons, responsories; p. 52-56 Ordinarium; p. 57/58 Psalm texts; p. 58/59 "Almächtig got"; p. 60-75 Ordinarium; p. 76-83 Benedicamus, antiphons, p. 84-90 hymns, German Lieder, p. 90/91 Ordinariumssätze; p. 92-98 Passion Hymns for Liturgy, p. 99-146 Ordinariumssätze, inter alia responsories; p. 147ff. Sequences.
