Abstract

New photographic images and digital restoration have finally permitted the integral restoration and transcription of several diminutions from the manuscript Faenza, Biblioteca Comunale Manfrediana 117, hitherto impossible because of illegible passages. Above all, it has been possible to restore two completely new pieces: a Kyrie Orbis factor (virtually complete) and part of its corresponding Gloria dominicalis (Vatican Edition XI). The two new pieces are here transcribed and published for the first time, along with the completion of the diminution of Jacopo da Bologna's madrigal Sotto l'impero with the aid of photographic material and virtual restoration.

Footnotes

The present work is part of a codicological, philological and historical study of the manuscript, carried out partly during my stay at Villa I Tatti, The Harvard University Center for Italian Renaissance Studies, an institution to which I here express my profound thanks. Equally my warmest thanks go to Drs Anna Rosa Gentilini and Isolde Oriani, respectively director and musical curator of the Biblioteca Comunale Manfrediana di Faenza, for the extreme generosity and kindness shown to me during several years of research on the Faenza codex.
