General Description

A Tenor partbook from an incomplete set of four volumes, closely related to the print RISM 1575/2. Title in tenor: "Vetera [et] Nova Carmina Sacra ... collecta a Volfgango Figulo Nurnburgano".

The main scribe was probably Wolfgang Figulus; 3 of the Magnificats at the end have the initials of 2 other scribes, "JBD" and "CFD" (=Caspar Füger Dresdensis). Copied at the Fürstenschule St. Afra in Meissen, under the direction of Wolfgang Figulus. Following Figulus' death (after 1588), the manuscript went to his son-in-law, Friedrich Birck, cantor at the Fürstenschule St. Augustin in Grimma from 1591 until his death in 1621. After Birck's death, his widow sold the manuscript to the Grimma Fürstenschule; in 1890 it was deposited in the library at Dresden.
