The article is devoted to the manuscript collection of solo violin sonatas with basso continuo by Aldebrando Subissati (1606-77). It supplements the pioneering work of Paolo Peretti - 'Le sonate per violino e basso continuo di Aldebrando Subissati sonator famossissimo' (Fossombrone 1606-1677) ('Recercare' IX (1997) pp. 19-47). Subissati began his career in Rome, where he became known as the violinist playing in the basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore (1621), the church of San Luigi dei Francesi (1634-41, 1645), the Barberini theatre (1639), and also as the virtuoso who would test at the palace of Pietro Della Valle the famous 'violini delle tre armonie' (1640). In 1645-54 he worked as senior musicus at the royal court of Jan Kazimierz in Warsaw. The manuscript in question, entitled 'Il primo libro delle sonate di violino del Signor Aldebrando Subissati sonator famosissimo', is the only extant collection of Subissati's work. The discovery of the vocal sources of Subissati's sonatas allows one to explain many technical features of these exceptional compositions, as well as raising questions about their correct dating and identification with a particular musical environment. The exceptional nature of Subissati's sonatas when compared with Baroque instrumentalistics consists also in the fact that their place in the vespers liturgy can be indicated with unusual precision. Their titles indicate the position of the antiphon which they replace and the particular holy day. The dates of these holy dates form a series which include the whole liturgical year. The article suggests the direction for further research aimed at discovering the original sources of Subissati's remaining sonatas, and provides an index of musical incipits of the sonatas and the corresponding antiphons by Anerio.
