NĚKOLIK OKAMŽIKŮ V HISTORII RUKOPISNÉHO POLYFONNÍHO CHORBUCHU. FRAGMENTY MEŠNÍCH ORDINÁRIÍ A PROPRIÍ Z ARCHÍVU MESTA BRATISLAVY

The Choirbook, from which fragments are preserved in the Bratislava City Archive, quite probably dated from about 1550. The fragments show a polyphonic repertoire with the form of open double folios. They were later exploited as covers of municipal official books from 1687–1700. Today, some of the fragments are stored in the Bratislava State Archive, in the Zbierka cirkevných písomnosti [Collection of ecclesiastical documents]; but surprisingly, further fragments can still be found today on the municipal books from the 17th century in the Bratislava City Archive. The following material describes the discovered polyphonic fragments and the historical circumstances regarding the origin, sale, and secondary use of the Choirbook.
