Are the Manuscript Volumes from Gornji Grad of Carniolan Origin?

SUMMARY

The manuscript volumes from Gornji Grad – SI-Lnr, Ms 207, Ms 232, Ms 284 in Ms 285 – contain a repertory that is characteristic of Inner-Austrian musical sources. The paper types employed as well evidences the Inner-Austrian provenance. Two small sections of Ms 232, acclamations comprising the name of Bishop Hren and responsory in the Slovenian language, show this part of the manuscript to be most probably of Carniolan origin. From the paleographical characteristics we may conjecture that the other three volumes are also of Carniolan provenance. The scribe for these manuscripts was presumably Sebastian Kuglmann, Bishop Hren’s scribe.
