Braunsberg-Oliva Tablature (c1610-c1630) - No 1, T1 - Lemma

The Braunsberg-Oliva Tablature started life around 1610 at the Jesuit Collegium Hosianum in the Polish city of Braunsberg (Braniewo).
The tablature consists of two volumes, T1 covering 326 pieces of music, and T2 covering 8 works. The owner and assumed scribe of many of the works in T1 was Jacobus Apfell (???? - 1653). T1 was started in Braunsberg around 1610. Apfell moved to the Cistercian Abbey in Oliva (near Danzig/Gdansk) sometime after 1615, where he likely handed it into the care of another scribe around 1619. The identity of the new scribe remains unknown, and it impossible to accurately date the final entries in T1 and T2, with 1630 being "safe" assumption.

Following the dissolution of the abbey in 1831 by the Prussian state, the manscripts were transferred to the Prussian State Archives in Königsberg, from where they were evacuated in 1944 which saved from the destruction during war hostilities in 1944 and 1945. They were registered in Library of the Lithuanian Academy of Sciences in Vilnius in late 1949.
The manuscript’s survival and existence was first written about by Paweł Podejko in 1988. Information pertaining to the current whereabouts of both manuscripts, their contents along with their first inventory, and a two volume edition of selected pieces was published by Jan Janca in the early 1990s.
Between 2016 and 2021 Marcin Szelest and his team from the University of Warsaw for the first time analysed and published the entire contents of both manuscripts.
