NOTKER’S »LIBER YMNORUM« FROM CROATIA: SEQUENTIARY OF THE OLDEST MISSAL OF PULA (HR-ŠIBF) 11th CENTURY. PALEOGRAPHICAL ANALYSIS AND REPERTORIAL INVESTIGATION
Hana BREKO KUSTURA
Sažetak
The oldest Sequentiary using the German adiastematic notation stored today in Croatia (Monastery of the Franciscans the Conventuals OFMCOnv. in Šibenik) dates from the year 1050. It represents one of the most important witnesses of the Notker’s sequence collection called »Liber ymnorum« in this part of the Europe. This Sequentiary is a part of the Missale. In the RISM data base it has been known as manuscript HR-Šibf. The most recent investigation of all four parts of this liturgical and musical book has
demonstrated that this codex is actually a »comissioned liturgical chant book« copied in the Bavarian monastery Tegernsee for the liturgical usage in medieval bishopric of Pula. This article presents the codicological, paleographical, musical and repertoarial analysis
of the oldest German sequenatiary from Croatia in comparison with similar European sources from the German, Slovene, and Italian regions. A special attention is given to a comparison with the medieval Aquileian chant sources. For the fi rst time author compares manuscript HR-Šibf with the oldest Calendary from medieval Pula. The result is a detection of the so called »Leitheiliger« (a leading saint) of this codex: a St Thomas Apostle, that has been a patron of the medieval bishopric of Pula, Istria. HR-Šibf Sequenatiry is unique in the context of other up to date known European sequence
collections. It contains a sequence »Armonia concinnans« for the feast of St Thomas Apostle, composed of the »Mater« melody.
Beside the particular analysis of the HR-Šibf Sequentairy author shows an importance of the investigations of Sequentiaries in general, in order to detect the provenance of the certain medieval chant book. Furthermore, she shows the important differences between Eastern and Western Frankish sequence sources. This contribution presents also a broader context of the all up to
date known researches of the Šibenik sequence repertory, and shows the arguments for considering this manuscript as being one of the most important examples of the Notker’s collection Liber ymnorum in the 11th century. To conclude: the sequence repertory of the Missale HR-Šibf with the unique sequence Armonia concinnans for the feast of St Thomas Apostle, and two rare sequences Summa
sollemnitas and Laude condignissima disseminated mostly in the Bavarian sources, testifies clearly two different contexts of this chant manuscript. The fi rst one, is the context of origin. This context is to be shown in the predominantly Bavarian repertoire of the sequences.
The second one is a context of usage. This context hints toward the medieval region of Istria and its bishopric of Pula that was during 11th century under church jurisdiction of the Patriarchy of Aquileia. Thus a manuscript HR-Šibf is not only the oldest sequence collection from medieval diocese of Pula, but interestingly, in the broader Aquileian context, one of the oldest Aquileian Sequentiaries too.
