Chants in St. Elin’s historia: variant tables

Complementary material to a musicological edition of a liturgical versified office for the
Swedish saint Elin, presumably written around the year 1300: variant tables of chant
melodies.

Remarks to variant tables contains general remarks on the notation in the sources and
the comparative tables as well as abbreviations. Sources are listed in a separate file.

Edition and complementary material was prepared by Ann-Marie Nilsson during a
research project (2006-2008) ”Medieval chant for Swedish saints”, financed by the Swedish Research
Council. The breviarium scarense imprimatum> (1498) contains five psalm antiphons for
vespers, for which no notated sources have been found.
