Tabulatura z historią. O mało znanym XVII-wiecznym rękopisie z Biblioteki Uniwersyteckiej w Poznaniu
Tablature with History: About a Little-known Seventeenth-century Music Manuscript from the University Library in Poznań

Summary/Abstract: Research on French lute music is currently a rather rarely discussed topic among Polish musicologists. The reason for this is probably the fact that most manuscripts with lute tablatures have already been described and the repertoire is quite wellknown. However, it turns out that Polish libraries still store little-known manuscripts, which are interesting not only because of the music, but also because of the non-musical material they contain. The copy of 17th-century French lute music stored by the University Library in Poznań, where apart from music, there are also non-musical elements showing its fascinating history, is an example of this. The article presents the preliminary results of the research into the structure, content, provenance and dating of this manuscript. In the first part, the author focuses on the physical features of the tablature source, and then she characterises its musical and non-musical content. The work is also accompanied by photographs of the manuscript and tables presenting its structure and repertoire concordances.
