The set of manuscripts from the Benedictine Convent of St. George in Prague includes 69 codices with and without musical notation. Such a collection of manuscripts originating from a single institution is not usual anywhere in Europe. The present study focuses on twenty-three manuscripts containing staff notation that were written between the second half of the thirteenth and the first quarter of the fifteenth centuries. They show great diversity in types of staff notation and a very large number of different scribes: 55. For the most part they are written in Gothic-Messine notation, by contrast with other sources from the Prague diocese which use Czech notation. Comparison of notational symbols and of the hands of the scribes can help answer questions concerning the St. George scriptorium.
