General Description

A fifteenth-century collection of theological texts from Bohemia, written in a combination of Latin, German and Czech, with a single three-part polyphonic motet on f. 118v. This has been identified by Paweł Gancarczyk as an early version of the motet Sophia nasci / O quam pulchra / Magi videntes, known from MS 59 R 5116 (Prague Speciálník) at the Czech National Library, as well as from several other Bohemian manuscripts.

Richard Dudas, 2025
