From Graz to Ljubljana? Towards Discovery of the Origin of the Hren Choirbooks

Abstract

V Hrenovih kornih knjigah je prisotnih pet različnih pisav. Glavni pisec je bil Georg Kuglmann, ostali pa so neznani. Tri pisave (med njimi Kuglmannova) se med seboj prepletajo in kažejo na obstoj delavnice v Gradcu. Ostali dve pisavi pa nakazujeta, da repertoar ni bil v celoti prepisan v Gradcu. Palestrinova Missa L’homme armé je bila (zaradi uporabljenega papirja) verjetno proti koncu 16. stol. prepisana v Innsbrucku, kratki odpevi v slogu falsobordone pa so bili dodani naknadno, morda v Ljubljani.There are five scribal hands evident in the Hren choirbooks. The main scribe for these choirbooks was Georg Kuglmann; the others are unknown. Three scribes (among them, Kuglmann) worked closely together and formed part of a scribal workshop at Graz. The presence of two other scribal hands suggests that not all the repertory was copied in Graz. The Missa L’homme armé of Palestrina was probably copied in Innsbruck in the late sixteenth century (given the paper type), and a few responses in falsobordone style were added in later years, perhaps in Ljubljana
