Berlin, Geheimes Staatsarchiv Preussischer Kulturbesitz MS 7: Codicological, Textual and Contextual Aspects of a Mid-Sixteenth-Century Prussian Music Manuscript.

Abstract

The manuscript BerlGS 7 originally consisted of five partbooks. During World War II, four of these were lost. In recent years, however, copies of three lost parts were recovered, making a thorough study of the manuscript possible. In this thesis I discuss the external features of the manuscript, its repertoire and reasons why it may have been created.
