The Oldest Medieval Missal of Pula, Istria

Research of the manuscript hitherto unknown and labeled as the ‘ Liber sequentiarum et sacramentarium’ , stored today in Šibenik, has shown that this chant book is the earliest Missal copied in the monastery of Tegernsee for the St. Thomas Basilica in Mediaeval Pula, Istria. Indications for its provenance are drawn from its codicological, palaeographical, and reportorial features. Beside the detailed comparison of its script, notation, sequence and trope repertory, a repertory is shown, up to date not analyzed, of the saints venerated in its sacramentary and in the list of relicts to be mentioned at the end of the Missal. Particularly, this portions of this Liber repertory were a clue toward detection that the ‘ leading saint’ of this chantbook is St. Thomas Apostle, a patron of the bishopric of Parenzo-Pula, to whom also the ‘ unicum’ sequence ‘ Armonia concinnans’ was dedicated. St Thomas Basilica in Mediaeval Pula is the place of usage where this commissioned book has been meant for liturgical usage. In the broader Aquileian context this manuscript is important as a new source from Aquileia and its eastern province of Istria.
