English description: This book results from Robert Klugseder’s discovery of new fragments in Vienna (Fragm. 661) and Margaret Bent’s recognition that they belonged to the same original manuscript as a set of fragments in Munich (Mus. Ms. 3224, already known). Together they make a torso of 12 leaves with 20 compositions, nearly half of which are unique, an important complement to the already-known Veneto manuscripts of international repertory of the first half of the 15th century. A high-quality colour facsimile of these leaves, together with associated fragmentary survivals, is preceded by an in-depth codicological and repertorial study in German and English. German description: Die vorliegende Edition ist das Ergebnis von Robert Klugseders Entdeckung neuer Mensural-Fragmente in der Nationalbibliothek Wien (Fragm. 661) und Margaret Bents Feststellung der gemeinsamen Herkunft dieser Blatter mit schon bekannten Fragmenten in der Bayerischen Staatsbibliothek Munchen (Mus. ms. 3224). Zusammen ergeben sie einen Torso von 12 Blattern mit 20 Kompositionen, von denen fast die Halfte Unikate darstellen. Die Sammlung stellt eine wichtige Erganzung der bereits bekannten Veneto-Quellen mit internationalem Repertoire aus der ersten Halfte des 15. Jahrhunderts dar. Dieses Farbfaksimile in hoher Qualitat enthalt Abbildungen der Fragmente und weiterer fragmentarischer Relikte sowie einen wissenschaftlichen Kommentar in deutscher und englischer Sprache, der sowohl den kodikologischen als auch repertoiretechnischen Fragestellungen nachgeht.

„But the book stands as a clear statement that fragments of this kind are of major importance for music historians and that librarians must be encouraged to make them known. That way, perhaps we will get even more of what looks to have been one of the seriously authoritative sources of its generation“<br/><br/>Von David Fallows<br/><br/>In: Plainsong and Medieval Music 23/1, April 2014, S. 118-122.
