About the Book

English summary: The 'St Emmeram Codex' (Munich, Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Clm 14274) is one of the most important witnesses to the cultivation of international polyphonic music in Central Europe to have survived from the late Middle Ages. Among the oldest collections of polyphony from the German-speaking area, it demonstrates the widespread acceptance of progressive international styles in a part of Europe that has sometimes been characterised as a cultural backwater. The manuscript includes a substantial portion of the works of Guillaume Du Fay, who epitomises Western European style at the transition between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance better than any other composer. Binchois is also well represented, as are English composers of the period, including Benet, Dunstaple and Power. A number of local composers, many completely unknown from other sources, are also found in this manuscript, such as Hermann Edlerawer and Urbanus Kungsperger. Other works can be shown to have been composed in Central Europe, or to have reached Clm 14274 via a Central European tradition.Clm 14274 is a folio paper manuscript of 13 gatherings plus a contemporary index. Its 158 folios contain 255 discrete musical items, nearly all of which are polyphonic. Apart from a few items that appear to have been copied in the early 1430s, it was assembled between about 1439 and about 1444. Of three distinguishable scribal layers, the first two were copied mostly by the original owner of the manuscript, Hermann Potzlinger, with a number of assistants, the first layer in full notation, the second in void. Potzlinger also compiled the original index, after which the third and final layer was added by a different hand, apparently that of a professional music scribe. Potzlinger came from Bayreuth, studied at the University of Vienna from 1436 until at least 1439, and was schoolmaster at the Benedictine monastery of St Emmeram in Regensburg in and around 1450. At his death in 1469 he bequeathed his whole scholarly library of about 100 manuscripts to the monastery; in 1811 the monastery library was transferred to what is now the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek. 92 of Potzlinger's manuscripts, including 56 that were at least partly copied by him, can still be identified there.This fine colour facsimile, using the highest-standard digital techniques available, is accompanied by an introduction by Professor Martin Staehelin of the University of Gottingen and a scholarly commentary by Ian Rumbold with Peter Wright, both of the University of Nottingham, that provides a detailed codicological description of the manuscript and an analysis of its contents, together with a new inventory of the source. The introduction and commentary are being published in German and English. German description: Der Mensuralcodex St. Emmeram ist eine der wichtigsten, wenn nicht die wichtigste Quelle zur Uberlieferung von internationaler Mehrstimmigkeit in Mitteleuropa, die uns aus dem spaten Mittelalter erhalten ist. Sie ist mit Sicherheit die alteste erhaltene Sammlung internationaler Mehrstimmigkeit im deutschen Sprachbereich (vor den Handschriften in Aosta und Trient) und sie gibt in besonderer Weise Zeugnis fur die allmahliche Akzeptanz eines internationalen Stils im "ruckstandigen" Mitteleuropa. Der Codex (Clm 14274 der Bayerischen Staatsbibliothek) ist eine Papierhandschrift im Format 28,5 x 21 cm und umfasst 158 Blatter in 13 Lagen. Er enthalt etwa 280 ein- und mehrstimmige Musikstucke sowie einen Index. Angelegt wurde er etwa in den Jahren 1435-1443, wobei der grosste Teil des Inhalts von dem aus Bayreuth stammenden Schulmeister und Buchersammler Hermann Potzlinger eingetragen wurde. Da Potzlinger seine Bibliothek dem Kloster St. Emmeram in Regensburg hinterliess, wo er seit spatestens 1448 als Schulmeister wirkte, kamen die Bande aus seinem Besitz mit den ubrigen Bestanden der St. Emmeramer Klosterbibliothek im Jahr 1812 im Zuge der Sakularisation in die damalige Koniglich Baierische Hof- und Centralbibliothek nach Munchen, die spatere Bayerische Staatsbibliothek. In der Handschriftenabteilung der Bayerischen Staatsbibliothek befinden sich heute noch insgesamt 92 Bande aus Potzlingers Besitz, davon wurden 56 Handschriften zumindest teilweise von ihm selbst geschrieben. Die heute ubliche Bezeichnung des Clm 14274 als "Mensuralcodex St. Emmeram" verweist auf die Herkunft aus dem Regensburger Kloster.Die Handschrift uberliefert unter anderem grosse Teile des Werks von Komponisten wie Guillaume Dufay, der wie kein anderer die musikalische Sprache Europas an der Wende vom Mittelalter zur Renaissance gepragt hat, und zwar mit zum Teil eigenstandigen Fassungen und zahlreichen Unica. Dufay ist mit 42 Werken der wichtigste Komponist der Sammlung. Weiterhin finden sich in der Sammlung Werke von Gilles Binchois und John Dunstable, aber auch Satze von wenig bekannten Komponisten wie Hermann Edlerauer und Urbanus Kungsperger. Neben internationaler Polyphonie dokumentiert der Codex die weiterbestehenden genuin zentraleuropaischen Traditionen in der liturgischen Einstimmigkeit, der usuellen Mehrstimmigkeit und in den lokalen Kompositionen, die bereits am Vorbild eines internationalen Stils entstanden.
