Stredoveké fragmenty s kvadratickou notáciou v Kremnici
Medieval Fragments with Quadratic Notation in Kremnica

Summary/Abstract: Twenty-two fragments with square notation are preserved in three memory institutions in Kremnica: The Kremnica Archives Branch of the State Archives in Banská Bystrica, the Archives of the Mint, and the Library of the Evangelical Church of the Augsburg Confession in Kremnica. The first part of this article describes the period during which square notation was established in Western Europe and its subsequent spread. In Central Europe, this notation type is associated with mendicant orders as well as with the Carthusians. The Kremnica collection includes five individual fragments and seven groups consisting of two to four fragments each. Based on the liturgy used, most of the fragments originate from Franciscan manuscripts; however, there is also one group of Carmelite provenance, and one fragment can be attributed to the Augustinian Hermits, as it contains a hitherto unknown office of Saint Nicholas of Tolentino.
