Notátor ako nositeľ identity. Česká notácia v neskorostredovekých rukopisoch strednej Európy

Abstract

This study explores the status of the Bohemian system of notation in Central Europe and the identity of the scribes and notators of specific mediaeval manuscripts from Slovakia, Bohemia, Moravia, Austria, Hungary and Romania. Especially in the latter half of the fourteenth century and in the course of the fifteenth century, Bohemian notation became an important export product (article) which also appeared outside the territory of the mediaeval Kingdom of Bohemia. Active scriptoria, or migrating scribes, illuminators and notators, created a large number of liturgical manuscripts which reveal valuable information about their activities and migrations. Several sources point to various combinations with respect to the identity of the manuscripts, with the liturgy or the musical contents representing the customer and the notation representing the creator of the particular source, such as in Antiphonary CCl. 65 – 68 (Augustinian Library in Klosterneuburg), Bratislava Missal “D” Clmae 216 from the Library of the Bratislava Chapter (National Széchényi Library in Budapest) or the Antiphonary Varadinense (Diocesan Seminary Library Győr + Fragments from Austria, Hungary, Romania and Slovakia).
