Abstract
The aim of this paper is to point out new research results about the musical and liturgical sources of the diocese of Zagreb, which represent valuable manuscripts for the study of musical variants of the Gregorian chant of this region, during the Middle Ages. In recent decades, and especially since 2017, Croatian and Hungarian musicologists have noticed a number of significant new insights that enrich the Zagreb liturgical practice and its profile in the 15th and 16th centuries. Several “new sources” have been known so far. However, they were not included in the repertoire context of the musical sources from Zagreb. The author points to the change of the “destination” of the former Esztergom gradual (Graduale Strigoniense) from 15/16 century. Now it is evident that the “strange elements” in its musical repertoire belong to the bishopric of Zagreb. We find the same features in the Gradual kept today in the Archive of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts (HAZU), Manuscript III. d. 182, from the 15th century, whose recent analysis showed that it was indeed meant and used in the liturgical music of the cathedral in Zagreb even centuries after it was produced in Zagreb scriptorium.
