However, compared to the neighbouring countries (Austria, Po- land, and Hungary), only a small number of complete manuscripts providing more informa- tion about the medieval musical culture has been preserved in Slovakia. As of today, Slovak archiving, museum, and library institutions keep 17 completely preserved liturgical codices. Complete manuscripts can be found in Bratislava (9 notated manuscripts – 5 Bratislava an- tiphonaries, 2 missals, 2 graduals), Spišská Kapitula (the Spiš gradual by Juraj from Kežmarok and the Spiš antiphonary), Martin (the Carthusian gradual), Košice (the Košice psalterium and the Košice missal), Prešov (a psalterium and the Cracow notated breviary), and in Nitra (the Nitra codex). All the above-mentioned sources have been processed with the results published either in independent papers (see Literature) or in the publication titled Stredoveké pramene cirkev nej hudby na Slovensku1 by Eva Veselovská, Rastislav Adamko and Janka Bednáriková. Apart from the above-mentioned fully preserved codices, several hundreds of fragments have been preserved in the territory of Slovakia. As of today, we register the total of more than 860 frag- ments. The preserved fragments (similarly to the completely preserved codices) are deposit- ed in the State Archives as well as in libraries and museums across various Slovak towns. The largest numbers of the preserved fragments are located in the archives of the following cities and towns: Bratislava (89), Banská Štiavnica (75), Modra (70), Banská Bystrica (53), Kremni- ca (46), Levoča (25),2 Trenčín (22), Bardejov (20),3 and Poprad (19). As for library institutions, the highest number of medieval notated fragments has been preserved in the Slovak Nation- al Library in Martin (Literary Archive of the Slovak National Library: 34, the estate of Ján Ga- las: 7, the Franciscan libraries fund: 24)4 Library the Community of the Protestant Church of 1 VESELOVSKÁ, E., ADAMKO, R., BEDNÁRIKOVÁ, J.

There are several reasons why only a small number of sources has been preserved in the territory of Slovakia. The first possible reason may consist in frequent military conflicts du- ring the Middle Ages, fires, and general instability of the ecclesiastical-political situation (Re- formation and the subsequent Counter-Reformation or Catholic Reformation). The second reason is the fact that between the 15th and the 17th century, a large part of non-utilised ma- nuscripts was used as suitable material for reinforcing covers and bindings of more recent sources (notably official books and municipal protocols). Today, we find the largest number of the fragments as parts of the binding of more recent books. The third reason is related to the export of manuscripts abroad, both at an early stage, when the codices of Hungarian/Slo- vak provenance were removed from Bratislava, Levoča, Bardejov, Leles, and other locations, and also at a later stage – after the founding of the Czechoslovak Republic in 1918 – when numerous medieval manuscripts ended up in foreign private collections. The fragments and codices preserved in Slovakia represent only a fraction of the liturgical codices actually used during the Middle Ages. The sixth volume of the edition titled Catalogus fragmentorum cum notis musicis medii aevi in Slovacia processes 22 medieval notated fragments of manuscripts from the State Archive of Trenčín (hereinafter referred to as “ŠA TN”).

In the form of a full-text catalo- gue and an initial scientific paper, it provides access to valuable medieval materials dated back to the 14th to 16th century. Currently, most of these notated fragments are a part of the covers of the official municipal books of the city of Trenčín from 1596 to 1662. One part of these manuscripts is located in an independent box with various sheets of music from the 15th to 20th century, titled “Zbierka hudobnín rozličnej
