Wolfenbüttel, HAB, Cod. Guelf 30.9.2: a new Bohemicum (?)

Publication at Faculty of Arts |

Abstract

The manuscript Guelf. 30.9.2 from Wolfenbüttel contains cantiones in latin language from the beginning of the 15th century. The source remained barely noticed by the musicological research up to the present time.

Some questions about the provenance (Czech Lands or Germany?) have to be answered because this manuscript brings an unique testimony about musical relations in Central Europe and possible relations to France and England.
