An Antiphonary from the Latin School in Jáchymov

An important educational institution founded in the 16th century – the Latin town school in Jáchymov – has provided access to a manuscript of a sheet-music antiphonary with additional texts (shelf mark LC 3). The scribe and perhaps also the compiler of the codex was the teacher and composer Nikolaus Herman, who worked in Jáchymov for more than 40 years. Most of the manuscript was probably written in 1553.
