A Southern-Central European Tradition of 'Benedicamus Domino': Melodies and Tropes
A Southern-Central European Tradition of 'Benedicamus Domino': Melodies and Tropes

Summary/Abstract: This study examines, for the first time, a melodic network of 456 monophonic Benedicamus Domino items, representing sixty-five melodies, copied in thirty manuscripts from late medieval and early modern south-central Europe (c.1400–1620). It explores transmission patterns, sources and regional circulation, establishing a network shaped by both monastic and non-monastic contexts. The findings highlight the dynamic interplay between widespread liturgical practices and local scribal traditions, shedding light on networks of worship that transcended present-day national boundaries
