Further thoughts on Graz 807 and Vienna 13314
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 March 2016
Abstract
Graz, University Library, MS 807 and Vienna, Austrian National Library, latin 13314 have been studied intensively for more than a century, yet unsolved problems remain. Following a brief discussion of the sources and relevant scholarship, the antiphons for the Rogationtide processions in the gradual portions of both manuscripts I examine, along with a supplementary set of Rogationtide antiphons added to the Vienna codex. I then take a closer look at the expanded descriptions for the rites for Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday in the Vienna manuscript's sacramentary. From this evidence, I reaffirm the association of the liturgies in Vienna 13314 and Graz 807 with the canons and canonesses of Klosterneuburg respectively, and argue that the twelfth-century additions to Vienna 13314 suggest that the two manuscripts were kept together already in the twelfth century, most likely at the Augustinian monastery at Seckau. I conclude with further observations on the much-discussed odd placement of the Dedication of the Church in the Sanctorale of Graz 807 and on the occasion that would have brought the two manuscripts to Seckau.

4 Rudolf Wolfgang Schmidt suggested the Augustinian monastery of Reichersberg as a possible home for both Graz 807 and Vienna 13314, although he ultimately settled on Klosterneuburg. See ‘Die Frage der Herkunft des Cod. Vindob. Palat. 13314 und die Problematik seines Sequenzenrepertoires’, Jahrbuch des Stiftes Klosterneuburg, Neue Folge, 12 (1983), 43–62. Six years later, Rudolph Flotzinger proposed the Augustinian monastery of St Nikola in Passau as the home for the two manuscripts in ‘Zur Herkunft und Datierung der Gradualien Graz 807 und Wien 13314’, Studia Musicologica Academiae Scientiarum Hungaricae, 31 (1989), 57–80.
5 The manuscript was first assigned to Klosterneuburg by Hesbert, René-Jean, Le codex 10673 de la Bibliothèque vaticane fonds latin (XIe siècle).

In 1974 Froger (Le manuscrit 807, 33*) speculated that the three antiphoners to which Graz 807 was related may have been associated with the canonesses of Klosterneuburg, an observation later confirmed by Huglo, Michel, ‘Bilan de 50 années de recherches (1939–89) sur les notations musicales de 850 à 1300’, Acta musicologica, 62 (1990), 224–59, at 241–2CrossRefGoogle Scholar.

Jahrhundert’, Ph.D. diss., University of Graz (1987), 33, argued on the basis of the sequence repertory that the manuscript represented the use of Klosterneuburg and that its notation was associated with the canonesses specifically. More recently, Robert Klugseder has offered further support for associating the manuscript with Klosterneuburg's canonesses in ‘Studien zur mittelalterlichen liturgischen Tradition’.

16 In addition, two fifteenth-century processionals, namely A-KN 1005 and 1006, may be connected with A-KN 995 and hence the canonesses of Klosterneuburg, as argued in Norton and Carr, ‘Liturgical Manuscripts’, 110–14.

18 The rite was commonly performed either before or after Vespers in German-speaking Europe, Italy and Portugal. In France it took place earlier in the day, following the Adoratio crucis.
19 Thomas Csanády proposed that Graz 208, which he dates to the late twelfth century, represents the usage of the Augustinian monastery of St Nikola of Passau. ‘Breviarium monialium Seccoviensium—über einige so genannte Seckauer Nonnenbreviere.

Jahrhunderts aus St Nikola vor Passau (?): der Liber Ordinarius MS 208 der Universitätsbibliothek Graz’, Archiv für Liturgiewissenschaft, 51 (2009), 109–18. Robert Klugseder has more recently argued that the manuscript was likely copied in the early thirteenth century and represents an adaption by Seckau of the Passau Liber ordinarius, perhaps corresponding with Seckau's elevation to diocesan status in 1218.

21 Lipphardt (Lateinische Osterfeiern, 6:307) assigned this manuscript to a German/Augustinian convent in Hungary due to the inclusion of the feast of King Stephan in September. The Holy Week rites, though, suggest a connection with Seckau. Not only does its Depositio follow the format found of the Seckau ordinals, its Visitatio sepulchri also includes a number of parallels with that of Graz 208, the use of two rather than three Marys in particular.

31 The canons settled originally at the church of St Marein bei Freistritz (near Knittelfeld), which had been turned over to the Augustinian canons by Adalram von Waldeck on 10 January 1140. The canons of St Marein moved to Seckau in 1142. See Roth, Seckau, 43–9.
