Extract

Ms 18810 of the austrian national library has long been known to scholars as an important source of the secular works of Ludwig Senfl, Heinrich Isaac, and Paul Hofhaimer. Most of the remaining compositions in the manuscript, however, have been overlooked because they are either anonymous or by lesser-known composers. The purposes of this paper will be to discuss the manuscript and its contents, examine the musical styles found within it, and present an inventory more complete than that made more than eighty years ago by Josef Mantuani (1899, vol. 10, 219–24)’.
