Summary/Abstract: The paper summarises the results of the most recent research on Lutheran Church cantorates in Spiš/Zips in the 16th and 17th centuries. Besides resolving questions of terminology, the author considers the genesis of the Lutheran cantorates (development of musical education, influence of Leonard Stöckel) and also analyses the activity of two urban cantorates (Levoča/Leutschau, Spišská Nová Ves/Neocomium, Iglo, Neudorff). Emphasis is placed on new findings connected with the existence of the religio-musical corporation Fraternitas Litteratorum in Spišská Nová Ves. Particular attention is devoted to transcriptions of the unique musical repertoire in the Spiš Lutheran cantorates and the Central European musico-cultural context.
