Sažetak
Two works by the Croatian 17th-century polymath, church writer, priest and traveller, Juraj Križanić (Georgius Crisanius; 1618-1683?), are kept in the Bibliotheque Nationale de France in Paris: the sixth known copy of his printed treatise Asserta musicalia (Rome, 1656) and the hitherto unknown first complete manuscript copy of the work Tabulae nouae, exhibentes musicam (Rome, 1657), whose second incomplete copy is kept in the Biblioteca nazionale centrale Vittorio Emanuele II in Rome. They were identified by the field and bibliographic research undertaken by the author in late 2012. These two works belonged to the Secretary of the Roman Congregatio de propaganda fide and former superior of Križanić, Mario Alberizzi (1611-1680), and were transferred to France during the Napolenic Wars.
The most important discovery is that the Parisian copy of the Tabulae nouae manuscript must have been the very copy that was presented by Križanić to Pope Alexandar VII. It consists of a very fine caligraphical writing of 25 folios in all, containing the title "Musica aucta, explicata, facilitata" with datation, two portraits of Guido d’Arezzo and Johannes Muranus, the dedication, the main text with drawings in four colours (40 so-called ‘Diagramma’), and the small hitherto completely unknown treatise on church singing entitled "Discursus De Cantu Ecclesiastico facilitando Argumentum". By this discovery, the number of Križanić’s works has been reduced to seven in all: two prints, three manuscripts and two with uncertain attribution.
