The Hymn Rex sanctorum angelorum in Notated Missal ms. 387 and its Partial Meaning in the Search of the Provenance of the Manuscript

Summary/Abstract: Amongst the 18 notated manuscripts (today located in Slovak depositories as part of our precious cultural heritage), we can find Notated Missal ms. 387 from the former Evangelical College Library in Bratislava. It is preserved in the Central Library of the Slovak Academy of Sciences in Bratislava. Currently it is the subject of deeper research. Its most disputable aspect is its provenance. According to many scholars, it dates back to the 13th century, because it does not include the Feast of Corpus Christi. On the basis of a later note in the calendar (f. 5) we may also assume that the manuscript was written (or, at least, utilised) in the city of Lund, Sweden. For confirmation or refutation of such a hypothesis, the author will take into account the considerations regarding the hymn Rex sanctorum angelorum, that may represent one of the clues in order to get closer to the truth.
