Notes on the provenance of Lucas Lossius’ ‘Psalmodia’ (PL-WRu OSD 351352)

Summary/Abstract: Lucas Lossius’ ‘Psalmodia, hoc est Cantica sacra’ is one of the most widely used anthologies of sixteenth-century music in the Lutheran liturgy. The book is now held in Wrocław University Library, Old Prints Department (PL-WRu OSD 351352). This source has never been the subject of specific research concerning its provenance. However, some handwritten notes contained in this source, as well as the identification of several individuals mentioned in them, increased the likelihood of establishing its provenance . The handwritten entries confirm the hypothesis that this copy of Psalmodia was used, annotated and added to in Namslau/Namysłów.
