Description

The eight manuscripts Codices Claustroneoburgensis (CCl) 1013, 1012, 1010, 589, 1011, 1015, 1017, and 1018 were copied over a period spanning two centuries. CCl 1013, 1012 and 1010 are among the oldest surviving sources of the sung Office liturgy in the Klosterneuburg library. CCl 1013 and 1012 can be paired to create a complete twelfth-century representation of the church year, since 1012 begins at Pentecost and 1013 ends just before. CCl 589, 1011, 1015, 1017 and 1018 date from over a century later. Of these later manuscripts, three contain the chants of the pars hiemalis (winter) and two the pars aestiva (summer).

Several of the Offices found in these manuscripts but not included in Corpus Antiphonarium Officii (CAO) appear in full in Analecta hymnica (AH), as well as in other Cantus Database files. The Office for Immaculate Conception appears in AH vol. 5, pp. 47-50; Ursula appears in AH vol. 28, pp. 256-9; and Benedict in AH vol. 25, pp. 145-9.

These eight Klosterneuburg manuscripts are likely from the female side of the double house and reflect the particular liturgical practices of the women of Klosterneuburg, as discussed by Klugseder, Norton, and Carr.
