Abstract
One of the most important Hungarian musicologists, chant scholar and conductor, Prof. László Dobszay, PhD (1935-2011), made a significant contribution to our knowledge about Mediaeval chant practice of the Zagreb bishopric in 11th — 18th century period. He discovered and labelled its new liturgical sources, drew up and edited inventories of the antiphonaries from Mediaeval Zagreb, and drew new conclusions that have changed the general view about the peculiarities of ritus et consuetudo almae ecclesiae zagrabiensis.
This paper deals with the role of his research on the Zagreb Mediaeval rite. Furthermore, it presents reception of Dobszay’s scientific work in the writings of Croatian music historians and musicologists from 1995 onwards, and rethinks the importance of his discoveries in the context of the general music history of the Hungarian-Croatian region in the Middle Ages.
