General Description

A Discantus II partbook from an incomplete set of four. An extensive selection of Gallus pieces from his Opus musicum broadly follows the sequence of the prints.

Copied by Urban Birck and other scribes. Copied at the Fürstenschule St. Afra in Meissen. In 1613, Urban Birck gave the manuscript as a gift to his brother Friedrich, cantor at the Fürstenschule St. Augustin in Grimma. After Friedrich's death in 1621, his widow sold the manuscript to the Grimma Fürstenschule; it remained there until 1890, when it was deposited at the library in Dresden.
