This article analyzes the links between two manuscripts from the final decade of the fifteenth century: Warsaw, Biblioteka Uniwersytecka, Gabinet Zbiorów Muzycznych, RM 5892 (known as the Wrocław/Breslau Codex) and Segovia, Archivo Capitular de la Catedral, Ms. s.s. In spite of the great geographical distance between Silesia and Castile, where these manuscripts originated, they nonetheless share a relatively large number of compositions. Three reasons for this are suggested: (1) the presence of an international polyphonic repertory; (2) chronological proximity; and (3) a similar purpose and motivation behind the creation of these collections. This article offers a new dating for the main corpus of the Wrocław Codex, to c. 1493-94. It also shows how the two manuscripts are related in both material and repertory to the phenomenon of ‘small folio manuscripts’, a type of musical manuscript that up to now has been thought to be limited to central Europe.
本文分析了15世纪最后十年的两份手稿之间的联系:华沙,Biblioteka Uniwersytecka, Gabinet Zbiorów Muzycznych, RM 5892(即Wrocław/Breslau抄本)和塞戈维亚,Archivo Capitular de la Catedral, Ms. s.s。尽管这些手稿起源于西里西亚和卡斯蒂利亚之间的地理距离很远,但它们仍然共享相对大量的成分。提出了三个原因:(1)国际复调曲目的存在;(2)时间邻近性;(3)创建这些系列的目的和动机相似。这篇文章提供了一个新的日期的主要语料库Wrocław法典,以c. 1493-94。它还显示了这两份手稿在材料和曲目上是如何与“小对开本手稿”现象联系在一起的,到目前为止,这种音乐手稿一直被认为仅限于中欧。

Research on European musical culture in the late Middle Ages has been significantly influenced by politics in the twentieth century. Modern ideological concepts and political borders were projected on to historical material and interpreted in terms of a Europe divided by the Iron Curtain. Although musicological research over the past three decades has frequently been confronted with questions of the identity of central Europe and its reintegration into international musicological discourse, recent synthetic studies (e.g., the Cambridge History of Music series) still largely conserve pre-1989 views of music history. Using the Bohemian Codex Speciálník (CZ-HKm 7), this study shows that the construction of a new historical narrative requires a re-evaluation of primary sources. Basic information concerning them, such as dating, must be revised according to current codicological methods, and their historical contexts must be reassessed. Today the Codex Speciálník is recognized as an internationally important source for studying the transmission of polyphony in Europe before 1500. The repertory in its earliest gatherings, dating from c. 1480 or shortly before, has close ties to the court of Emperor Frederick III and the ducal court in Milan. New findings point to central Europe-and Bohemia in particular-as an important area for the cultivation of polyphony, and demonstrate that old clichés framing the region as marginal and behind-the-times must be reconsidered.

A nuanced understanding of centres and peripheries in renaissance music history requires examining both whether the peripheries were really peripheral and the centres really central. Responding to the latter side of the equation, the present article investigates Low Countries musical sources from the first half of the sixteenth century with an eye to indigenous versus imported traditions. Special attention is given to the so-called Zeghere van Male partbooks (Cambrai, Le Labo, Mss. 125-28). The results reveal that the Low Countries, like other regions, had their local traditions that were not exported; and that they, like other regions, were not immune from absorbing outside influences.
要细致地理解文艺复兴时期音乐史上的中心和边缘,需要考察边缘是否真的是边缘,而中心是否真的是中心。回应等式的后一边,本文调查了从16世纪上半叶的低地国家音乐来源,着眼于本土与进口传统。特别注意的是所谓的Zeghere van Male partbooks (Cambrai, Le Labo, ms . 125-28)。结果表明,像其他地区一样,低地国家也有自己的地方传统,这些传统没有出口;和其他地区一样,它们也不能免受外界的影响。

This essay concentrates on the polyphonic hymns of the Strahov Codex (CZ-Ps DG IV 47), one of the most important late fifteenth-century repositories of music for the mass and the office. Delving into the connection between the source and the Trent Codices, it uncovers traces of compositional interactions between some of Strahov’s unica and settings of the same texts in Trent 88 (I-TRbc Ms. 1375). The melodic and contrapuntal similarities detected between pairs of settings suggest routine contrapuntal strategies. In turn, this analysis of the relatively simple hymn repertory contributes to reconstructing musical networks in central Europe.
这篇文章集中在斯特拉霍夫抄本(CZ-Ps DG IV 47)的复调赞美诗,这是15世纪晚期最重要的大众和办公室音乐库之一。深入研究来源和《特伦特抄本》之间的联系,它揭示了斯特拉霍夫的一些unica和《特伦特88》(I-TRbc Ms. 1375)中相同文本的背景之间的创作互动的痕迹。旋律和对位的相似性检测对设置提示常规对位策略。反过来,这种对相对简单的赞美诗曲目的分析有助于重建中欧的音乐网络。
