Eine liturgische Handschrift mit Tonar der Zagreber Diözese aus dem 17. Jahrhundert

Abstract

The study deals with a thus far little considered compilation of rituals. It emerged in a corner of southern Hungary saved from the Ottoman occupation where no liturgical chant book sources from the Middle Ages survive. The clerical copyist must have been familiar not only with Péter Pázmány’s Rituale Strigoniense of 1625, which came into being after the Council of Trent, but also with some of the ritual editions printed after 1500 that preserved the old Gregorian liturgical usage. The musical examples of the tonary, chosen in an unusual manner, point to the fact that for this scribe the local, ingrained medieval Gregorian tradition was a living treasury as late as around 1650.
