Carmina Clericorum

This edition tracks the transformation of songs that emerged from the student milieu and entered the repertoire of the Latin schools during the fifteenth century, presenting a critical edition of compositions whose music has not previously been available. In a few cases, it brings to light entirely unknown pieces from newly discovered manuscripts.

Rhythm is suggested for the syllabic parts of the songs, based on simple rhythmic notations used in some manuscripts, and the meaning of the texts is made more accessible with translations into Czech and English.
