Description

The first session, on 2 July, was presented by the Research Libraries Branch, on Manuscripts, Medieval and Renaissance, consisting of papers on medieval and Spanish liturgical manuscripts at the University of Sydney and manuscripts in Toledo Cathedral. Kathleen Nelson spoke on two fragments from medieval notated chant manuscripts in the Rare Book Collection in the Fisher Library of the University of New South Wales (1). Both manuscripts were pasted into books. One fragment has been dated to the second half of the twelfth century and the other to c. 1200. The content of each suggests that both have been taken from notated missals but otherwise the two fragments have little in common. The palaeographic style of the text, and the style of the music notation, indicate different geographic origins; one is notated in Messine notation, and the other in Aquitanian notation. The latter, an Aquitanian fragment of Iberian origin, contains music for Easter Monday with an Alleluia chant Nelson has not found in any other source. This could be explained by the fact that churches often were free to create and choose chants for local use. The manuscript shows a style of writing used in Southern France and the Iberian peninsula. One example of this are the two forms of lettering for 'A' present in the manuscript. Work is still in progress and it is hoped that more sources of related music will be found. Extensive use has been made of online resources for medieval manuscripts (Washington, University of Western Ontario, and Regensburg). Her full paper is presented later in this volume of Fontes Artis Musicae.
