Summary/Abstract: This article presents comparative research on books of chant copied by fra Petar Knežević (1701–1768). They are known as Kyriali and are today kept in the Franciscan monasteries in Sinj and on the island of Visovac.Two books of chant were copied in Sinj in 1767 and are sources for cantusfractus in Dalmatia. Both manuscripts by fra Knežević are dedicated to the Holy Virigin Mary, venerated in Sinj, and known as Čudotvorna Gospa Sinjska (Miraculous Virgin Mary of Sinj). The main purpose of this new research is to compare the chant features from Knežević’s Kyriale with similar phenomena known as canto fratto italiano or cantus fractus, which have been present in the Italian Franciscan repertoire from the seventeenth century onwards.
