Abstract
A manuscript kept in the Cathedral Chapter Archives in Hvar contains a list of books and music material owned by the Cathedral Chapter back in 1646/47. Although lost nowadays, recorded music titles are witness to the quantity and quality of music in the town of Hvar (and generally in Dalmatia) during the 1st half of the 17th century. This (music) inventory testifies not only to the presence of contemporary Italian (mostly Venetian early-Baroque) music literature on the island; it also reveals four titles of Tomaso Cecchini’s to date unknown opuses, joined here to the revised list of Cecchini’s works. Considering the importance of this source in the context of Croatian music historiography and (early) Baroque culture, a focal point of this article is an overview of the inventory’s musical content. It is presented here by way of a table containing transcripted titles and extra details on authors and printed editions, which were formerly a part of the Cathedral Chapter’s music collection.
