Abstract

Among the several hundred dismembered plainchant fragments that the Lost&Found project team has analysed, Manuel Pedro Ferreira noticed parts of what seems to be a former tonary, scattered as covers for polyphonic choir books now preserved in the University Library of Coimbra. The fragments not only display tones both for the office (psalms and responsory verses) and the mass (introit verses) but also include mnemonic formulas on biblical verses different from the more common Primum quaerite models. In this communication, after a brief insight on the reconstruction process, I focus on the structure and modal features of what has survived of this (fragmentary) tonary.
