RISM Description
RISM5
Ces 7 manuscrits, dont les 6 premiers ont été révélés par Haberl en 1885 (cf. Bibliographie), tandis que le 7e ne fut découvert qu'en 1920 (R. von Ficker, in DTÖ 61 (XXXI) VIff) consituent une véritable famille indissoluble en ce qu'ils présentent tant de caractères communs qu'il semble logique d'en donner d'abord une description d'ensemble pour préciser ensuite les particularités de chacun d'eux en même temps que le dépouillement de leur contenu.
Ils fournissent un énorme répertoire en grande partie religieux, sans pour cela que la musique profane soit complètement négligée, qui va de Loqueville à Isaac et Compère, couvrant 25OOff. avec 1870 pièces environ, qui peuvent se dater entre 1420 et 1480. En 1921, R. Wolkan (cf. Bibliographie) avait émis l'opinion que ces mss. copiés à Vienne sous l'impulsion de Johann Hinderbach (né en 1418), secrétaire à la chancellerie impériale, auraient suivi celui-ci à Trente où, en 1455, il avait été nommé prévôt à la cathédrale puis porté à l'évêché en 1465. E. Wellesz va plus loin en les déclarant copiés, à Vienne d'abord puis à Trente, sur ordre de Hinderbach pour sa bibliothèque personnelle qui devait ensuite être donnée au chapitre de la cathédrale (Grove's Dictionary, 5th ed,. 1954). Cependant, comme on ne trouve dans ces mss. aucune pièce de circonstance de la vie de l'empereur Friedrich III, alors que les allusions à des personnages tridentins, même peu célèbres, y sont évidentes et que l'un des copistes Johannes Wiser occupa diverses charges à Trente de 1459 à 1490, il est logique de penser qu'ils ont plutôt été copiés, sinon tous à Trente même, du moins dans l'Italie du nord (cf. Bibliographie, Lunelli). Il est possible aussi qu'ils aient été acquis (en tout cas les plus anciens) par l'évêque de Trente Alexander Masowien, alors en relation avec Amédée VIII de Savoie pour la chapelle duquel ils auraient été copiés (cf. WardTS, p. 144). — On peut diviser ces 7 mss. en deux groupes: d'une part 87 et 92 qui sont les plus anciens, d'autre part 88, 89, 90, 91 et 93 qui sont légèrement postérieurs, 91 étant le plus récent. Le même papier et le même scribe, qui inscrit son nom Puntschucherh au bas du f. 161 du ms 87 (mais s'agit-il d'un nom? Cf. Flotzinger, Bibliographie TRbc 87) se retrouvent pour la première partie du ms. 87 (f. 1—218) et la deuxième partie du ms. 92 (f. 144—239), la relation entre les deux mss. étant de plus soulignée par le fait qu'un Kyrie de Binchois au f. 56v du ms. 87 (n° 34) est accompagné d'une mention renvoyant pour Y Et in terra suivant au premier f. du ms. 92 (n° 2). Ces deux mss. ont certainement été copiés avant 1450 dans l'Italie du Nord, tandis que l'on peut fixer approximativement la date de compilation des cinq autres entre 1445 et 1480, le scribe Johannes Wiser en ayant copié la plus grande partie à Trente même.
Ms. 89
XVe s. 425 [= 426] ff. Papier, 310X210 mm. Foliotation ancienne. Le f. 235 chiffré 2 fois. Les ff. 11, 12v, 24, 57, 81, 83, 93v à 95, 106v, 107, 151, 176v, 198v, 207, 223, 235a, 238 240v, 241, 256v à 257v, 282, 293v, 294, 304v à 306, 342, 366, 378, 400, 404 sont blancs. Notation mesurée blanche. 8 portées par p. Au f. 199 poème sans musique. Aux ff. 245v-246, pièce sans texte copiée postérieurement sur une feuille collée sur les anciens feuillets blancs et portant: Contrabassus, Contratenoris au début de chacune des parties.
Ms. copié lui aussi par Johannes Wiser à la même époque que le précédent, ainsi que le confirment les dates de 3 pièces de circonstance: le n° 74 à l'occasion de la reddition de Bordeaux au roi Charles VII en juin 1451, le poème sans musique du f. 199 Clerus istius venerandus urbis . . . qui célèbre l'élection de Hinderbach à l'évéché de Trente en 1465 (facs.: DTÖ 14/15), et le n° 236 qui fait allusion à son successeur Georg II élu en 1486.
