Trope inventory for Kremsmünster, Stiftsbibliothek Frag. V/191
Due to an oversight by the author, the trope inventory for Kremsmünster, Stiftsbibliothek Frag. V/191 (Kre V/191) was erroneously omitted. The following inventory should have been included in the section ‘I: Proper Tropes in Manuscript Sources: Tropers, Graduals, Missals, Cantatoria, Processionals and Related Sources’:
| Kremsmünster Stiftsbibliothek Frag. V/191 | S. German (Kremsmünster?) | XIIex/ XIIImed | German neumes in campo aperto |

The two leaves making up this fragment are from a gradual, and though Holter identified this fragment as a sequentiary (1975, 1977), no sequences are found among its remnants. Portions of masses for Sts. Philip and James, apostles (1 May), the Finding of the Cross (3 May), Sts. Eventius and Theodulus (3 May), Sts. Gordianus and Epimachus (10 May), St. Pancratius (12 May), and the Dedication of the Church make up the content of one leaf (here designated as 1r/v). Portions of the masses for the Ascension, Sunday after Ascension, Pope Urban (25 May), Eve of Pentecost, and Pentecost make up the other leaf (2r/v).
Holter (1975) saw similarities between penwork and initials in sources from Lambach and Kremsmünster in this fragment. He dated the fragment as mid thirteenth century. The extensive twelfth-century Kremsmünster troper Kre 309 (TT, pp. 42–45) and the current fragment share paleographic similarities as well as a reading of Hodie spiritus et replevit which concludes with ‘eia’, which is absent from other known sources (CT III, p. 116).

I am grateful to Hanna Zülke for bringing this fragment to my attention via a partial image in Holter (1975). I wish to also thanks Petrus Schuster OSB, librarian of Stiftsbibliothek in Kremsmünster for generously providing not only the complete image of the leaf with trope, but the four folios of the fragments to which it belonged.
The trope inventories for Salerno, Museo Diocesano, Ms. 6 (Slno 6) and Vercelli, Museo Leone, Lit. 24 (VceL 24) were erroneously placed in the section ‘I: Proper Tropes in Manuscript Sources: Tropers, Graduals, Missals, Cantatoria, Processionals and Related Sources.’ See Kruckenberg, TTII p. 126 and p. 138, respectively. As ordinals, they belong in the section ‘III: Proper Tropes in Manuscript Sources: Libri Ordinarii and Related Sources.’
