Musicologically relevant sources from the manuscript collection of the parish church of St. James in Brno
Abstrak
There is an interesting collection of manuscripts from the parish church of St. James in Brno. This collection covers a continuous period from early years of the church in 13th century up to early modern time. The collection has been preserved relatively untouched up to these days which is important and quite rare fact. Today it contains 127 manuscripts which can be found in the Brno city archive. Naturally, most of them are liturgical books and many also contain musical notation. This paper aims to present those liturgical books of the collection, which are musicologically relevant. There are mainly missals, but also Psalters, breviaries and graduals can be found in the collection. Main expansion of the manuscript collection ended around 1500. By this time new printed books came into use.
