Bohemian Notation in the Medieval Slovakia

100%
EN
Recent research of Slovakian medieval notated codices and manuscript fragments raised an important fact: the written culture of the late 14th and 15th centuries in Slovakia was strongly influenced by education from Czech lands. Particularly between 1370 and 1520, the direct impact of the scribal notation tradition from Czech lands to Slovak area can be detected in a number of Slovakian music sources. Codices and dozens of manuscript fragments documenting Bohemian notation in the Slovak geographical area have become the subject of research, along with the systematization, analysis and evaluation of all currently known and edited medieval notated sources from Slovakia. The main purpose of this research is to organise the information gained from these sources, and to determine the general structural features of Bohemian notation in Slovakia.

The sources of medieval musical culture from the territory of Slovakia are the foundation stone in the musical history of our land. The most recent investigations of 62 medieval fragments from the Slovak National Archive in Bratislava have indicated a wealth of original and imported written culture from a time period from the late 12th to the early 16th century. Newly discovered fragments fill out the complex picture of the sources of medieval musical culture, which despite severe material losses (manuscripts lost, destroyed, or removed abroad) is rich and unique. In the latest research in the Slovak National Archive many fragments have been identified from manuscripts which are currently known and more or less complete.

An important fact has been highlighted in the recent times by the complex source study of the medieval musical codices and fragments from the territorial area of Slovakia: written culture in the late 14th century and throughout the 15th century in the Slovak area was strongly under the influence of the learned culture of Bohemia. We have registered the direct impact of the Czech scribal tradition on the evolution of notation practice in Slovakian written sources, particularly within the time period 1370 – 1520. The codices, and some tens of fragments, which give documentary evidence of Czech notation in our geographical space were taken as a research topic, together with systematisation, analysis and evaluation of all currently known and processed musical sources from the Slovak area. The aim of research was to systematise knowledge of source materials, as well as establishing the fundamental structural features of Czech notation in Slovakia.

Nitra has a special status in assessment of the liturgical musical codices from the territory of Slovakia dating from the medieval period and early modern period. Only one liturgical manuscript has been preserved in its original place from Nitra’s church institutional funds– the Nitra Codex from the 12th century (ekphonetic symbols, elements of German unlined neume notation). Religious books with notation have not been preserved from the subsequent period (12th to 16th century). All the more surprising, then, is the discovery of 7 antiphonary fragments from the turn of the 16th century with the Estergom notation system in the Nitra Diocesan Archive, which is one of the oldest church archives in the Slovak Republic. On account of the historic status of the Nitra diocese and its church archive, we regard the finding of these fragments as an exceptional discovery in the field of medieval musical research in Slovakia.
