Summary/Abstract: The notated Missale Strigoniense / Ostrihomský misál (Missale secundum chorum alme Ecclesie Strigoniensis, shelfmark MUS A 8, olim 13778) from the Levoča/Leutschau Lutheran Music Collection, Cirkevný zbor Evanjelickej cirkvi a. v. Levoča, printed in Venice on 3 August 1512, represents an important source for the study of medieval Gregorian chant in Slovakia and Central Europe within the context of the Mass repertoire. The missal was published by Urban (Urbanus) Keym of Buda and printed by Peter (Petrus) Liechtenstein, originally from Cologne. To date, it has not been comprehensively examined in musicological scholarship. The present study analyses the missal with regard to its contents and formal characteristics, situates it within the broader context of the relevant musical-liturgical tradition, and presents the results of research into the musical repertoire preserved within it.
