General Description

A collection of legal treatises, written by various hands. In 1409 it belonged to a J. Himel in Melk so was therefore probably copied before then; it was certainly copied before 1462 (see entries on f. 2, 72 and 128v). The only musical items are on f. 87v.

RISM Description

RISM B/IV 3: 14./15. Jh.; 131 Blätter Pergament, 223 x 155 mm. Moderne Foliierung von f. 1-131. - Einband: mit rotgefärbtem Pergament überzogene Holzdeckel, originale Beschläge.

Die Handschrift stellt eine Sammlung juristischer Traktate dar, die von verschiedenen Händen im späten 14. oder frühen 15. Jh. eingetragen worden sind. Im frühen 15. Jh. (1409) gehörte sie einem J. Himel in Melk und ist daher wohl auch da geschrieben worden. Spätestens seit 1462 (vergleiche Eintragungen auf f. 2, 72 und 128v) befindet sie sich in Vorau. Die einzigen musikalischen Eintragungen stehen auf f. 87v: zwei Kolonnen zu 15 beziehungsweise 5 schwarzen Fünfliniensysteme; sorgfältige Mensuralnotation aus der Zeit um 1400.

[Translation] 131 parchment sheets, 223 x 155 mm. Modern foliation of f. 1-131. Binding: reddened parchment covered with wooden boards, original fittings.

The manuscript is a collection of legal treatises, written by various late 14th- or early 15th-century hands. In the early 15th Century (1409) it belonged to a J. Himel in Melk so was therefore probably copied before then. It was certainly copied before 1462 (see entries on f. 2, 72 and 128v). The only musical items are on f. 87v: two columns of 15 and 5 black five-line systems; careful mensural notation from the period around 1400.
