Fragmentos litúrgicos de Braga

The discovery, cataloguing, publishing and study of fragments of mediaeval codices is a vital area for a greater knowledge of liturgical traditions. For the Use of Braga it is essential, since most of the codices that led to its origin and even of the period in which it was constituted, have sadly been lost. Bearing in mind a recognised and renewed interest, the present article provides an overview, in chronological order, short but up-to-date, with regard to the liturgical fragments of Braga. It takes into account the work of António de Vasconcelos, Justo Pérez de Urbel, Germán Prado, Avelino de Jesus, Pierre David, Solange Corbin, Jorge Barbosa, Jordan, Romano Rocha, Joaquim Bragança, Joaquim Félix and, lastly, Manuel Pedro Ferreira, who is currently coordinating a project involving inventorying and making digital photographs of the manuscripts with musical notation.
