Stiherarion Ehai 817 - a Music Manuscript from the Bachkovo Monastery

Summary/Abstract: The content of the Stiherarion EHAI 817 has not been examined up to now. The manuscript entered lacerated the manuscript collection of the Ecclesiastical Historical and Archival Institute of the Patriarchate of Bulgaria. The sequence of the neumed chants written in the manuscript is out of order. On the basis of certain palaeographical evidence (water marks), the manuscript has been referred to the beginning of the XVI с. А newly found water mark (Fig.1) may introduce а correction in the dating - the beginning of the XVII с. The sequence of the neums and late Byzantine heironomic signs written by another hand demand а special study. The article demonstrates the new sequence - in logical order- of the neumed chants written in the manuscripts. In this way the manuscript content becomes clear and is published completely, which grants an opportunity of future studies.
