The Stammbueh or album of Johann Stobaeus, MS Sloane 1021 in the
British Library, is dated January 8, 16U0. Stobaeus, its owner, was
Kapellmeister in Konigsberg, East Prussia. The album contains l6U pieces
for ten- or eleven-course lute, including dances, secular pieces with
generic titles, and settings of chorale tunes. Other major material
includes two short sets of lute instructions; instructions for singers
of liturgical music; poems by members of the Komgsberger Diahterkre^s;
and short rhymes and epigrams, many of which concern the lute.
The dissertation presents a complete modern edition of the lute
music and lute instructions, with commentary; biographical data con-
cerning Stobaeus, with background material about Konigsberg and East
Prussia; a selection of poems and epigrams, featuring all poems con-
cerning the lute; and commentary on the literary material, especially
the evidence it provides that the manuscript might have been compiled
in its entirety around the written date of l6U0, even though the music
is old-fashioned.

Chapter I
INTRODUCTION
The manuscript Sloane 1021 in the British Library is a Stammbuch
which "belonged to Johann Stobaeus, 1580-16^6, Kapellmeister in Konigsberg,
East Prussia. His ownership is established by his signature, which
appears at the end of the manuscript on folio 115r. The term Stammbuch,
or album, refers to a particular type of book kept by individuals for
collecting remembrances from friends and a variety of other handwritten
material that they wanted to preserve. The obsolete English term "common-
place book" has a similar meaning.1 The custom of keeping Stammbucher
arose in the sixteenth century as an outgrowth of humanistic ideals con-
2 cerning friendship. It became a very popular practice which did not
3
die out until after the middle of the nineteenth century.
Owners of Stammbucher wrote in them personally and took them
to social gatherings at home and abroad where they passed them around lj.
to friends and acquaintances for their contributions. Naturally, the
1. Leonard Forster, "Four Poems by Opitz in MS. Sloane 1021 in the British Museum," Neuphilologische Mitteilungen XXXVIII (1937), 82, describes Sloane 1021 as Stobaeus' commonplace book.

identities and interests of the owners and other contributors were re-
flected in their writings; thus, extant Stammbucher which belonged to
musicians are often excellent sources of music and musical information.
This is certainly true of Sloane 1021. In addition, since Stobaeus
socialized with many poets his book is an excellent source of poetry.
Although there has been no major study of Stobaeus' album, two
publications have listed its contents in detail,^ and two articles have
presented thorough studies of its major poems.^ The list compiled by
Augustus Hughes-Hughes at the British Museum is particularly commendable
for its accuracy. Since these sources exist it is unnecessary to present
another detailed list of pieces and poems here. What is needed, however,
is a general list which conveys an idea of the character of this manu-
script to someone who has not examined it.
The predominant language of the manuscript is German, mostly
written in deutsche Schreibschrift, the uniquely German handwriting
which is sometimes called "Gothic script." Short sections and isolated
words in Latin are written in Roman letters. The verbal and musical
contents are interspersed in an informal manner, suggesting that the
writers worked without any particular organizational plan:

10) short rhymes and epigrams, mostly humorous, dealing with various aspects of the human situation;
11) poems and short rhymes, mostly light-hearted, praising music in general and lutes in particular.
In the process of this study the entire manuscript was tran-
scribed. However, the complete transcription will not be reproduced
here. Some of the inclusions are so. unrelated to each other that it
would be awkward to consider them in the same study, and there is much
material which is of no particular interest to musical scholars. Instead,
this study will concentrate on the lute, which clearly dominates the
manuscript, for the overwhelming majority of folios are occupied by the
music itself. The transcriptions of the music and lute treatises will
be presented in full and discussed. In support, commentary will be pro-
vided concerning Stobaeus' life and career. This necessitates discussion
of Konigsberg and its poetic circle, which itself probably provided the
impetus for the writing of the Stammbuch.
The assistance of Professor William J. Weiersheuser and Professor
Benito V. Rivera in the preparation of the German and Latin texts is
gratefully acknowledged.

THE COMPOSER
Some Background Concerning Konigsberg and East Prussia
For almost seven hundred years, from its founding in the thir-
teenth century until its destruction in World War II, the city of
Konigsberg, East Prussia, was an important center of German culture.
With the opening of its university in 15^, it also became an important
center of Lutheran learning."'" The young Stobaeus, a native of the small
city of Graudenz (now Grudzi§dz, Poland), journeyed to Konigsberg in 1595
in order to obtain his education. After achieving his objective, he found
2
employment and made his home there. A summary of the city's history is
helpful to the understanding of the atmosphere in which he lived, and
certain political matters must be explained before his career is discussed.
The region of East Prussia was Christianized by the Deutschritter
Orden, or Order of Teutonic Knights, in the thirteenth century. The Order
was founded in the 1190's to provide hospitals for Crusader knights in
the Holy Land, but by that time the Crusades were dying out. Instead of
disbanding, the Order redefined its purpose, and by authority of the Papal
"Golden Bull of Rimini" of 1226, it turned to missionary work in the area

around the Baltic Sea to the east of the river Vistula. Seeking to
convert the pagan Prussians by force rather than persuasion, the Knights
"built many fortified castles as they pressed to the east, and under the
provisions of the Golden Bull, they "became the rulers of the lands and
peoples they subjugated. Konigsberg was founded around a castle built . 1+
by the Knights in 1255> in honor of a visit from King Otakar of Bohemia.
The original city or Altstadt, incorporated in 1286, was joined by the
suburbs of Lobenicht in 1300 and Kneiphof in 1327. These three cities
formed what might now be called a metroplex, each city having a separate
government until 172^.^ The cathedral, where Stobaeus held a post for 6
many years, was located in Kneiphof.
The fourteenth century was the golden age for the Teutonic Knights.
They had already achieved military domination of the Prussians in the
thirteenth century, and were able to turn their attentions to organization
of government, development of trade, and imposition of Germanic culture
in their territories. They were highly successful in these activities, 7
and attained a formidable political and economic status. It was during

this fruitful period, in 13^0, that Konigsberg "became a member of the
8
Hanseatic League.
Unfortunately, the riches and power of the Knights eventually
"brought about corruption and detrimental political entanglements, and
the fifteenth century saw the gradual collapse of the Order, Even
without its inner decay, it probably could not have survived long in
a world where medieval knightly institutions were growing obsolete.
The Order was defeated decisively by Poland and her allies in the so-
called Thirteen Years1 War (1^5^-1^66), and at the Peace of Thorn on
October 19, lU66, Prussia was allowed to remain under the control of
the Teutonic Knights only as a fief of the Polish crown. The Grand
Master of the Order, whose predecessors had once been among Europe's
wealthiest rulers, was allegedly ragged and in tears as he swore an 9
oath of fealty to the King of Poland.
The last man to be Grand Master of the Order was Albrecht
von Hohenzollern, Margrave of Brandenburg, who was elected in 1511.
By that time the Order was in such a state of decay that change was
inevitable. Lutheranism was spreading rapidly in Prussia, and Albrecht
was converted to the new faith. Upon the advice of Luther, Albrecht
secularized the Order and acknowledged the suzerainty of the Polish
crown in 1525. Prussia became a secular duchy with Albrecht, in resi-
dence at Konigsberg, as its first Duke."^

Under Albrecht's rule Konigsberg experienced a flowering of learn-
ing and culture. In 15^U he founded the university, later called the
"Albertina" in his honor; by l6UU it was flourishing with an enrollment
of 2,000.11 Albrecht was a knowledgeable patron of music who corresponded
with several famous composers of his day and welcomed foreign musicians
to his court. He engaged in particularly significant correspondence with
12
Ludwig Senfl, who sent him pieces. Among his visitors were Adrian Petit
Coclicus, at court from 151*8-1550, and Valentin Bakfark, at court from
1551-1553.Being a convert to Lutheranism, Albrecht took a lifelong
interest in the Lutheran chorale, and has been identified as the author
of a number of chorale texts.1'' The strength of the Lutheran tradition
in Konigsberg's musical life owed much to Albrecht's influence.
After his death in 1568, the title of Duke of Prussia was in-
herited by his son, Albrecht Friedrich. After the long and beneficent
rule of his father, it was very unfortunate for Prussia that Albrecht
Friedrich suffered from a mental illness that rendered him incompetent
to execute his duties. He had attacks cf deep melancholy, and could
only be cheered by song and lute playing; consequently, the variety of

music at court declined after his accession. After his incompetence
became apparent, the House of Hohenzollern provided administrators to
rule Prussia in his stead, but he retained the title of Duke until his
IT
death in l6l8. The first administrator to serve was Prince Georg
Friedrich of Preussen-Ansbach, who took up residence in Konigsberg in
1578; after his arrival the musical situation improved. However, he
became extremely unpopular, and feared that he would be assassinated.
This caused him to remove his residence to Ansbach in 1586, from where l8
he administered Prussia in absentia until his death in 1603-
After his death, the administration was taken over by the Electors
of Brandenburg. Their claim to authority rested on several factors: the
Dukes of Prussia belonged to their ruling house; the Hohenzollerns had
retained control of the duchy during Albrecht Friedrich's illness; and 19
two successive Electors had married daughters of Albrecht Friedrich.
The Duke of Prussia was still nominally a vasal of the King of Poland;
however, in l6ll Elector Johann Sigismund secured from Poland the formal 20
enfeoffment of the House of Hohenzollern with Prussia. When the

hereditary Dukes died out with the sonless ATbrecht Friedrich in l6l8, the
right of succession was transferred to the Electors of Brandenburg.
Three Electors ruled Prussia in the first four decades of the
seventeenth century: Joachim Friedrich served as administrator from 1605
until his death in 1608; Johann Sigismund as administrator from 1608 until
his abdication due to ill health in 1619; and Georg Wilhelm as Duke from
21
1619 until his death in 16^0. Most of the Thirty Years' War took place
during the rule of the weak and indecisive Georg Wilhelm. His basic policy
of neutrality was a failure, for neutrality was untenable in that disastrous
conflict. Although the Elector was a Calvinist, he had a Roman Catholic
adviser, Schwartzenberg, whose policy favored the Holy Roman Empire. Under
his influence Brandenburg fought against Sweden from l637-l6UO, but with 22
inadequate forces, it was devastated.
Konigsberg, in its far eastern location, was spared much of the
war's misery, although it suffered from the economic misfortunes of its
Brandenburg rulers. Because of its relative isolation, it was a haven 23
for students from all over Germany who sought to avoid the perils at home.
Georg Wilhelm and his court took refuge there when conditions in Brandenburg 2h
deteriorated, and thus it was there that the Elector died in December, 16U0.
He was succeeded by his twenty-year-old son Friedrich Wilhelm, who, unlike

his father, was a strong Protestant sympathizer and made peace with Sweden
25
soon after he came to power. This young man faced problems which were
nearly insurmountable; however, under his skillful leadership Brandenburg-
Prussia emerged from near-ruin to assume its position as a major European
power, and Friedrich Wilhelm earned the nickname of the Great Elector.
The Life and Career of Stobaeus
Little is known of Stobaeus' early life; he was born on July 6,
1580 to Jakob and Agnes Koffnatzia Stobaeus, and attended school in his
native town of Graudenz (Grudzi§dz),2^ which is located in modern-day
Poland about fifty miles south of Gdansk. His mother's family was of
27 Polish ancestry. In 1595 he moved to Konigsberg to attend a Sahola
pO
paroohialis, lodging with its rector, Valentinus Raschius. Konigsberg,
now the Soviet city of Kaliningrad, is slightly over one hundred miles
northeast of Graudenz, and it probably offered the best educational op-
portunities of any German city within a moderate distance of the young
man's home.
In 1599 Stobaeus began his studies with Johann Eccard, Vize-
kapettmeistev of the Ducal chapel. One year later he entered the city's

12
famous university, but details of his activities there have not been re-
29 corded. The university offered instruction in music, and he likely
availed himself of it. While he was a university student he tutored the
30 son of a man named Bernhard Tegius, and lodged in his home.
During the years l601-l602 Stobaeus was employed as a bass singer
in the Ducal chapel; records of its quarterly expenditures report his
31
name and salary. The chapel existed under unusual circumstances that
stemmed from Duke Albrecht Friedrich's incompetence to rule. "When Prince
Georg Friedrich came to Konigsberg to rule in his stead in 1578, he brought
his own chapel with him from Ansbach. His Kapellmeister was Teodoro Riccio.
For a short time his chapel co-existed with that of the Duke, but in the
first quarter of 1579? almost all of the members of the Ducal chapel were
32
dismissed.
It was in the capacity of Vizekapellmeister to Georg Friedrich
that Johann Eccard moved to Konigsberg in 1580 . When the unpopular Prince
returned to Ansbach in 1586, his Kapellmeister and several members of the
chapel accompanied him, but Eccard did not. Consequently he was placed
in charge of a chapel which remained in residence at Konigsberg, which 33
was reorganized the year after the Prince's departure. As explained

above, the Prince continued to govern Prussia even though he no longer
resided there. Since his official chapel was with him in Ansbach, the
chapel that remained in Konigsberg occupied a subordinate position and
its members were not well-paid. Although Eccard was actually in charge
in Konigsberg, he was not allowed the title of Kapellmeister while the
Prince still governed, which turned out to be a period of eighteen years.
The Prince died in l603, and Eccard finally received the promotion he
deserved in 160^.^ It was in Eccard's subordinate chapel that Stobaeus
was employed in 1601. During this time he developed the deep admiration
for Eccard which culminated in his famous editions of Eccard1s Preussisahe
Festlieder forty years later.
Perhaps through Eccard's influence, Stobaeus left the chapel late
in 1602 to assume the position of Cantor at the cathedral church and
35
school of Kneiphof. There is no specific information about his work
there. It was during his lengthy tenure that the insane Albrecht Friedrich
died. In 1626 Stobaeus was appointed Kapellmeister to the Ducal court,
and thus entered the service of the Elector Georg Wilhelm. He remained
in the court post for the rest of his life.

35^ Eitner, op. ait., 261.
36. Eitner, ibid., was under the impression that no chapel existed in Konigsberg after Johann Sigismund became Elector of Brandenburg and administrator of Prussia in 1608, and that Stobaeus' appointment was honorary. However, his actual service is documented by quotations of surviving chapel records (Mayer-Reinach, op. ait., 6l-66).
Ik
According to Eitner, Stobaeus continued to serve as Cantor at
37
Kneiphof after he became Kapellmeister. However, Winterfeld suggested
that he had relinquished his post as Cantor before he received the offer
from court, because in 1626 he signed several occasional works as "Musicus
und Burger obgemeldeter Stadt Kneiphof" and "ausgedienter Tonkiinstler" OQ
rather than his customary "der Stadt Kneiphof Cantoren." There is no
further evidence to clarify the matter. If he had resigned as Cantor,
it may have been because his voice was no longer adequate. On the other
hand, if he held both posts simultaneously, it may have been only until a new Cantor could be found.
Apparently Stobaeus did not actively seek the appointment at
court, but the reputation which he enjoyed caused him to be nominated
39 anyway. Members of the court chapel had been ill-paid throughout the
tenures of Eccard and his successor Johann Crocker, and the latter was
1+0
outspoken m his dissatisfaction with the working conditions. If
Stobaeus had heard from him, he might have been less than eager to inherit
his situation.
The most serious problem which Crocker passed along to Stobaeus
was financial. In an establishment which had not benefitted from gen-
erous spending for a long time, Crocker and Stobaeus had to contend with

15
the additional hardships brought about by the Thirty Years' War. During
this time, as Stobaeus tried to equip his chapel and provide for his
family on inadequate sums of money, he incurred heavy debts from which
kl
he "was never able to recover.
Information concerning Stobaeus1 family is incomplete. It is
known that he was married three times. His first marriage took place in
l6oU, which was not long after he received his appointment at the ca-
thedral. His first wife, a widow named Esther Moller, who only lived
until 1606, bore him a son and a daughter. Those children, whose names U2
have not been recorded, did not outlive their father. His second
marriage, to Elizabeth Hausmann, took place in l60T; Eccard wrote a
Latin motet in commemoration of the occasion, but unfortunately it has
been lost. Three daughters and a son were born of that marriage, but I13
only the son outlived the father. Elizabeth died in l6l6, and on July 10, l6lT Stobaeus married the widow Regina Montfort Moller; the
kk motet for that wedding was written by Sweelinck.

Several sources report that Regina bore Stobaeus no children.
However, Winterfeld mentions two daughters whose names were Regina and

Agnes, and states that the former was named for her mother. He goes on
to relate that Stobaeus provided them with dowries and that they were
married in 1636 and 1639 respectively If they were born soon after
the marriage in l6l7, they would have "been of marriageable age in 1636
and 1639. After the death of Regina in 16^0, Stobaeus did not remarry
It is not known whether the family continued after he and his children
died.
Winterfeld reports that when Stobaeus died, his considerable
debts fell on members of his impoverished family. Seeking relief, they
petitioned the Elector for aid. Friedrich Wilhelm, who was an enthu-
siastic patron of Stobaeus' music, complied with an edict to the court
in Kneiphof which had jurisdiction over the estate, asking for leniency.
Remembering Stobaeus1 long and excellent service to the community, the
court was pleased to comply.^
When he came to power in 16U0, the Great Elector was only twenty
years old. His esteem for the music of Eccard and Stobaeus was demon-
strated when he paid for the printing of the second part of their
k9
Preussische Festlieder. Since Stobaeus had experienced so many hard-
ships, the Elector's favor was a well-deserved blessing in his final
years. It is somewhat curious that such a young ruler admired such con-
servative music; however, his Protestantism might account for his interest.

Stobaeus died of a heart attack on September 11, l6U6; his funeral
service was held on September 21.^ Many people admired him for his per-
sonal qualities as -well as for his music, and he was sincerely mourned.
It was a well-established custom in Konigsberg to provide special poetry
and music to honor a deceased person, and several works were produced in
honor of Stobaeus. Konigsberg1s most famous poet, Simon Dach, wrote two
51 poems, one of which was set to music by Georg Colb. Valentin Thilo
wrote a "Memoria Stobaeana," which was dedicated to Stobaeusf friend
52
Marco Scacchi, Kapellmeister to the King of Poland.
Poets and composers of Konigsberg wrote a large number of works
for special occasions; it would not be incorrect to say that this was a
business for them. However, when Dach wrote about Stobaeus it was a
labor of love rather than a business matter, for the two men had been
friends for a long time. The last two stanzas of the rather lengthy
"Schreib ich denn in diesen tagen" testify to Dach's high esteem for 53
the departed composer:

StobaeusT Creative Output
Most of Stobaeus* career was devoted to the composition of
religious vocal music for the use of church and court chapel. It is
his chorale-motets for which he is most remembered today, and for which
he was renowned in his own lifetime. The atmosphere of Konigsberg, with
its strong Lutheran tradition and university, was conducive to the de-
velopment of sacred music.
In 1599 the young Stobaeus began to study with one of its finest
5I1 composers, Johann Eccard, 1553-1611, who was to be the decisive musical
influence of his life. Eccard, called the father of the "Prussian
55
Tonschule," had been a student of Orlando di Lasso while employed as
a singer at the court chapel in Munich.^ As explained above, he went
to Konigsberg as Vizekapellmeister to Prince Georg Friedrich in 1580,
and spent most of the rest of his career there.
Compared to such men as Lasso, Eccard was limited both in the
size and nature of his creative legacy. He devoted considerable effort
to chorale settings for congregational use. According to Lutheran

56. Adrio, op. oit. , IO69.
19
stipulations, these had to be simple in style, with the chorale in the
top voice so that it was easy for the congregation to follow. Eccard was
successful in achieving the desired simplicity without sacrificing musical
quality, enhancing chordal texture through the use of Soheinpolyphon
57
(pseudo-polyphony). In his more complex works he combined the simpli-
city of chorale or song style with the style of the motet.^ Eccard's
lyric gift was displayed to advantage in a chordal, melody-oriented
style, and several of his motets which exemplify it are still in the
choral repertory.
Stobaeus set out to emulate Eccard, which he did with consider-
able success. It is significant that he never deviated markedly from
Eccard's style, even though he lived almost to the middle of the seven-
59
teenth century. His most important publications were new editions
of collections by Eccard which he augmented with works of his own. The
first of these was Geistliohe Liedev auf gewdhnliohe preussische Kirchen-
Melodeyen, published in 163^, in which the chordal, pseudo-polyphonic 6o
style dominated. The second was the two-volume Preussische Festlieder,
published in l6h2 and l6Ui+,^ containing motets for the entire church

year and also pieces for special occasions. Bukofzer cites this and a
collection of motets published "by Eccard in 1597 as establishing the
prototype of the chorale-motet with migrant cantus firmus and advanced
harmonic vocabulary
Two collections were devoted entirely to Stobaeus' own music:
Die Teutsche Litaney..., published at Konigsberg in 1610, and Cantiones
sacvae harmoniae 4-10 vocibus3 item aliquot Magnificat 5-6 vooibus,
published at Frankfurt in l62k. The former is no longer extant and
there is no modern edition of the latter. Many chorale tunes and
chorale settings by Stobaeus were published in collections of devotional
music both during his life and after, and many of his settings achieved
6h
considerable popularity.
Gelegenheitsgesange, or pieces for special occasions, were an
important part of Stobaeus' output. Both occasional music and occasional
poetry were popular in many locales in his time, but they enjoyed a
particular popularity at Konigsberg. The contacts which Stobaeus made
with middle-class citizens while serving as Cantor at Kneiphof helped
him to receive many commissions for such works; his ability and reputa-
tion even helped him to receive commissions from members of the nobility
before his position at court introduced him to their society.^ Of

approximately 280 Gelegenheitsgesange written "by Sto"baeus, 112 are preserved
in a collection at Gottingen. In his article on this collection, Hans Haase
reports that printed copies of the pieces by Stobaeus, along with seven
pieces by other composers, are bound in six part-books bearing the date of
16*11. The author quotes the titles of all the items in chronological
order, but unfortunately says nothing about the music itself.^ The
titles reveal that Stobaeus wrote more music for weddings than for any
other occasions. It is interesting that items 97 and 108 are the wedding
pieces which Stobaeus wrote for his daughters Agnes and Regina.^
Most German musicologists who investigated the Prussian Tonschule
in the nineteenth century were unaware of the Stammbuch containing Stobaeus'
lute music. This is because it was acquired before their time by the
English collector, Sir Hans Sloane, 1660-1753. After Sloane's death, his
remarkable collection provided the initial holdings for the founding of
the British Museum.^ It is unfortunate that German scholars lacked the
opportunity to examine Stobaeus' manuscript, but considering the devasta-
tion of East Prussia in World War II, its residence in London may have
saved it from destruction.
The signature which appears at the end of the Stammbuch (folio
H5r) reads: "Johannis Stobaei Sereniss. Electoris Brandenburg:

in Prussia Capellae Magistri, manus apposita Regiomonti die 8 Ao. l6Uo"
(Johann Stobaeus, chapelmaster to the Most Serene Elector of Brandenburg
in Prussia, signed in Konigsberg, day 8, year l61+0). 9 This verifies
Stobaeus' ownership, although it does not prove that he was the composer/
compiler of the lute music. However, the music is stylistically homo-
geneous, and all of it appears to have been copied in the same hand,
suggesting that it was the work of one person. In the absence of evi-
dence to the contrary, that person is presumed to be Stobaeus.
The pieces in Stobaeus' album belong to the tradition of in-
digenous German and Eastern European lute music which flourished in the
sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. This was a tradition of short and
simple dance pieces which did not require virtuoso technique on the
instrument, but which possessed a very definite flavor and charm all
their own. In spite of their widely differing dates of composition,
it is surprising how much similarity of style can be found among the
works of such men as Hans Newsiedler, Valentin Bakfark, Matthaus Waissel,
Woiciech Diugoraj, Johann Stobaeus, and Bartiomiej Pekiel. It is fortunate
that m lutenists' continual search for repertory, some of this music is
70
being discovered and performed, for an almost exclusive emphasis on the
English tradition, however magnificent it may have been, gives a very
distorted picture.
69- This date was misread as "die 8 NoCvembr.D 16^0" in Wolfgang Boetticher Handschriftlich uberlieferte Lauten- und Gitarrentabulaturen des 15. bis 18. Jahrhunderts, series B, vol. VII of Repertoire international des sources musicales (Munich: G. Henle Verlag, 1978), 190.
70. For example, the recording Central European Lute Music, 16th-17th Century, performed by Andras Kecskes (Hungaroton SLPX 11721), demon-strates the similarities among some of these masters.
23
Most of Stobaeus' music is simple, and as is the case with many-
large collections, it varies in quality. Even the best pieces from this
manuscript do not qualify as great music, hut many are very good and it
is hard to believe the really poor quality of some of the pieces that are
intermingled with them. This matter will be discussed further in the
section concerning the style of the music. There are a number of static,
poorly—written harmonies and melodies, and severely over—used accompani-
ment patterns and cadential formulas. Nevertheless, the good pieces and
poor pieces share a common style which seems to come from one composer.
The poor writing might be explained by saying that Stobaeus did
it during his student years. This, however, is unlikely, for the literary
evidence shows that the entire manuscript was probably compiled close to
the 161+0 date that appears with Stobaeus' signature; at this time he was
around sixty years of age. It does not seem probable that he would have
saved very poor pieces from his student years for inclusion in his Stammbueh
forty years later. Thus, another explanation must be sought.
There is no evidence of Stobaeus' skill as a lutenist, or for that
matter, of his having been a lutenist at all, but considering the lute's
great popularity in his time, it is likely that a professional musician
such as he would have owned one and been able to play it even if he were
not an expert performer. The following hypothesis is proposed: Stobaeus
was a lutenist of average or intermediate ability who was not required to
play professionally. As a relief from the demands of the court, he com-
posed, arranged and collected the lute music in his Stammbueh to entertain
himself and his friends, and to provide his students with pieces to
2k
practice. He intended the music for informal use and enjoyment, and pur-
posely did not devote strenuous effort to writing or revising it.
In examining the pieces, one sees that he was not really at home
in the secular style. Still, there is much in the collection that is
fresh and likeable, and would he especially useful for performers who
are not ready for music with advanced technical demands. Perhaps most
interesting of all, it shows that there was another side to Stobaeus'
creative life.

Chapter III
THE MUSICAL PORTIONS OF SLOANE 1021
A Description of the Lute Tablature
In all pieces "but one Stobaeus used French lute tablature. Most
of the time he wrote for an instrument with six courses which were stopped
and four bass or diapason courses which played fixed pitches; there are,
however, five pieces which call for a fifth diapason. It would be in-
teresting to know what sort of lute Stobaeus played, particularly whether
it was the variety with a fingerboard wide enough to accomodate ten or
eleven courses,1 or was a theorboed variety where diapasons ran alongside
fingerboard. Unfortunately, the lute illustrations in the manuscript
do not clarify this matter. On folio 2r there is an illustration of a
lutenist playing an instrument of at least thirteen courses, but the peg-
box is not included in the drawing and the width of the fingerboard is
not clear. The entire lute shown on folio l+2v has only six courses.
Another drawing, that of a fingerboard (folio l*3v), shows four diapasons
but does not illustrate how they were pegged.
Stobaeus presented only one piece in German tablature (folio ^3v).
This cumbersome system was obsolete in the seventeenth century, so the
1. There are many period illustrations of such lutes, for example, the title page of Jean-Baptiste Besard's Isagoge in avtem testudinancffn (Augsburg: Steffan Michelspacher, 1617); reprinted in his Instruk-tionen fur Laute 1610 und 1617, Series C vol. I of Institutio pro arte testudinis (Neuss/Rhein: GbR-Junghanel-Paffgen-Schaffer, 1971+)

composer must have included "the example for historical interest, perhaps
for the benefit of his students. It was explained "by means of a finger-
board illustration like the one published by Hans Newsiedler in Eiti hJew-
geordnet kunstlich Lauteribueh of 1536.2
In Stobaeus' French tablature the letters were on rather than
3
above the lines. The open strings and first five frets were used most
frequently, but as many as ten frets were sometimes employed, as is evi-
denced by the occurrence of the letter TTlf!. Stobaeus designated the
diapason courses with the numerals 7-11 rather than the more common letter
a with horizontal dashes above it. Apel assigns this numeral system to
the period of French innovation between 1620 and 16^0.^ Curiously, Stobaeus
illustrated the letter a system on folio ^3v beside his drawing of a
German-tablature fingerboard.
Except for one section, Stobaeus' pieces use the Renaissance tuning
in which the courses are in the interval pattern Either a G or
A tuning would have been appropriate for the transcription, but G was se-
lected (g'-d'-a-f-c-G) because of the G-D-A-F-C that was actually mentioned
on folio 39v, along with instructions for tuning a lute with another in-
strument. In this tuning D minor, G minor, F major and C major are the
most common keys in the collection. The diapasons are tuned as follows:
2. A modern reproduction of this popular illustration is easily accessible in Willi Apel, The flotation of Polyphonic Music 900-1600, 5th ed. (Cam-bridge, Mass.: The Mediaeval Academy of America, 1953), 75.
3. David Lumsden, "The Sources of English Lute Music (151*0-1620)" (un-published Ph.D. dissertation, Cambridge University, 1956), 76, cites this as an old-fashioned feature of his notation.
4. Apel, op. ait., 70.
27
7 F, 8 E, 9- 10 C, and 11—B. These pitches may he altered hy ac-
cidentals where the keys or modes so require.
On folios l6r through 19v there are eleven pieces which do not
use the Renaissance tuning. The composer gives no warning of the change,
but it is obvious when the notation calls for a five- or six-note chord
to he stopped across the same fret, for without retuning, this produces
dissonance. Hans—Peter Kosack, discussing the manuscript in his survey
of Prussian lute music, called attention to these eleven pieces, but he
stated incorrectly that they require the tuning of d'-b-g-d-B-G.^ Actually,
two different tunings are needed. One uses a major triad, but in second
inversion rather than root position as Kosack suggested; the other changes
the third and fifth courses of Renaissance tuning. If one selects pitches
that do not require the diapasons to be changed, the resultant tunings
are: f sharp'-d'-a-f sharp-d-A, and g'-d'-b flat-f-B flat-G.
Since all courses of the lute except the highest were normally
double—strung, the matter of octave doublings should be considered. In
the sixteenth century the fourth through sixth courses were usually tuned
in octaves to improve their sound, while the higher second and third
courses were tuned in unisons. Early in the seventeenth century, however,
lutenists were able to obtain strings of a better quality which gave more
pleasing sounds in the lower register. Thus, the practice of tuning in
octaves was abandoned, and it was possible to add diapason courses which

28
brought even further improvement of lower sonorities.^ Stobaeus was
writing well into the seventeenth century, for an instrument with five
diapasons, and since he did not specify any desire for octave doublings,
he probably did not want them.
4 - . Stobaeus1 standard meter signature was | , which Apel cites
7
as the predominant signature of the sixteenth century. Rhythms in the
tablature were indicated with complete mensural notes rather than the
headless stem-and-flag system which requires reduction in transcription.
It might seem that the signature requires the halving of values,
but in most of these pieces it does not. Such a reduction would produce
many small note-values, which would convey an inappropriate impression of
quickness in modern notation.
It is apparent from the way in which he used it that had the
same meaning for Stobaeus as c has for present-day musicians. The other
signatures found in the manuscript are c f 3 . c • C 3 . 3 , and
c • In many instances the composer seems to have been careless or
imprecise in his uses of them. For example, he was not consistent in as-
signing the same signatures to all dances with the same generic titles. So
many pieces in triple meter have the numeral ff3n in their signatures that
it seems to have been his policy to designate them in that way, but he did
not add the !t3!f in all cases. He did not reserve some signatures for quick
pieces and others for slow pieces. As was customary in the mid-seventeenth

29
century, he did not use the signatures in a proportional sense. Since
there were no suites or traditional pairings such as pavan and galliard,
it was not necessary to use the change of signature between one piece and
the next for proportional purposes.
Since most of the pieces are barred, the rhythm is simple to read.
In French tablature there is no way to show sustained notes, however, be-
cause only one rhythmic symbol appears at a time. Keeping in mind that
notes cannot be sustained very long on the lute, the process of polyphonic
interpretation is not difficult. The problems caused for the modern editor
stem from the composer's careless errors, particularly his failure always
to change symbols when necessary. This matter is considered further in
the discussion of the style of the music.
Symbols for fingerings are discernible on the following folios:
W , 5r, 31v, 32r, 5kr, 5Uv, 69r, 69v, JOr, lllv, and 113v. Most of these
are right-hand fingerings that tell the player which fingers should pluck
the strings; they are designated by dots beneath the letters of tablature,
as shown in the section of treatise on folio 25v. Left-hand fingerings
are given on folio lllv in the form of dots beside the letters, as is
shown in the section of treatise on folio 2hv. On folios 5Ur and 5 W
left-hand fingerings are indicated by numerals beside the letters; this
is the system illustrated on folios 2Jv and 28r, which Stobaeus copied
from Jean-Baptiste Besard. All of these systems of indicating fingerings
are further discussed in the analysis of the treatises. From their limited
use, it appears that Stobaeus did not normally find such indications necessary,
His use of symbols for ornaments was even more limited than his use
of fingerings. Ornaments occur only on folios 31v, 32r, 51+r, 5W, 69v, 70r,
30
and lllv. Stobaeus used two symbols: } and . The former, often
referred to as the comma, was a widely-known symbol that was mentioned in
several treatises. It was used to symbolize a variety of ornaments. For
example, Nicolas Vallet used it for an upper appoggiatura, while Thomas
g
Mace used it for an appoggiatura from below. The other ornament as applied
to a single note was not so common. One source in which it appeared was
the Robarts lute book (ca. l651+-l668). The editor of the facsimile edition
of this source suggested that the sign be interpreted as an appoggiatura
9 from below.
As clarified in Stobaeus' treatise material, the Baroque concept
of ornamentation was not limited to notation by symbol. Certain written—
out passages such as melodic sequences, which might not be considered
ornamental by the modern performer, were considered as such by Stobaeus
and his contemporaries. What this means with regard to the music is
that considerable ornamentation was already there in the mind of the com-
poser; this would account for his extremely limited use of symbols. As a
result the performer should be very cautious in improvising any ornamenta-
tion for which the composer does not call. With this in mind, no editorial
ornaments were added in the transcription. Additional commentary on the
written-out ornamentation is provided in the discussion of the treatises.
8. Diana Poulton, "Lute, 6: Ornamentation," The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians, ed. by Stanley Sadie (London: Macmillan Pub-lishers Limited, 1980), XI, 355-356, gives this information in her excellent summary of symbols for ornaments in numerous treatises.

The Style of the Music
Among the pieces in Stobaeus' album, dances with generic titles
constitute the largest group. Of l6k separate works, seventy-one are
dances; seventeen are settings of chorale tunes; twelve are without title;
and the remainder bear descriptive titles. None have texts. Several of
those with descriptive titles are settings of famous early Baroque tunes
such as More Palatino, Fortune My Foe" and "Ey du feiner Reiter."
None of the dances are grouped into suites or traditional pair-
ings, nor does the composer/compiler adhere to any other organizational
principle in the manuscript. The most common practice is to group the
same kinds of pieces, for example, to copy several courantes or several
settings of More Palatino in succession; this is, however, not an un-
usual practice for the time. In such groupings he often gives the titles
to the first pieces only, designating the rest with the Latin terms Alia,
Aliud or Alitev. Parts of these series sometimes represent the work of
other composers, and occasionally, other composers are cited. An example
of this is seen on folios 68 and 69 where he presents two anonymous settings
of the well-known "Bergamesco" theme, followed by two more which are ascribed
to "Deck" and "Th. Lind. Lub."
Stylistically there is a homogeneity among all the pieces, even to
the extent that the works attributed to others might also be Stobaeus*
arrangements. There are few distinct differences between the dances and
love songs or chorales. By the same token, there are few characteristics
which differentiate one dance from another. Following is a tabulation of
the types of pieces by generic designations:
32
Courante 18 Choreae Polonicae 16 Galliard 9 Praeludium 8 Pavan 5 Ballet 1+ Bergamesco k Branle 3 Courante-Sarabande 2 Alman Mor 1 Passamezzo 1 Phantasia fugate 1 Ronda 1 Vaulte 1 Zinck-pass 1
f
Among the less familiar terms are "Choreae Polonicae," a catch-all for
Polish dances, and "Zinck-passwhich is probably a Germanization of
the French "cinq-pas."
Almost all of the pieces in the album are short; the typical
length is about thirty measures, and it is safe to say that none have
complicated structures. The overwhelming majority are binary. In Stobaeus'
notation it is sometimes difficult to distinguish whether dot-like strokes
at double bars are decorative or functional; however, the fact that double
bars occur frequently without dots argues for making the distinction. The
most common formal structures are simple binaries of which the majority
are closed, that is, their first sections end in the tonic key. Within
this format both sections are often repeated, although occasionally only
the second part has repeat marks. These structures may be diagrammed as
follows:
I a II : b : II > and || : a : || : b : ||
There are sixteen pieces in which the basic simple structures are aug-
mented by figural variations; these range from the simple to the ambitious,
33
but none of them are very successful. In addition there are five paired
dances in the Tanz-Naahtanz format which are generally more successful.
Works displaying structures markedly different from the binary
are the chorale settings and the preludes. The former are restricted to
the forms of the chorale tunes themselves, and most of them are free-
sectional. The preludes tend to have an improvisatory quality, and are
through-composed rather than organized into sections.
Based on the G tuning used in the transcriptions, the keys of
G minor, D minor, F major and C major are the most common. The harmony
comes from the transitional period before functional harmony was clearly
established, although the pieces are predominantly tonal. The strong
functional relations of tonic, dominant and subdominant are colored by
modal characteristics. For example, there are frequent changes of mode;
in minor keys there is much vacillation between i-I, and iv-IV, with
many final cadences on I. There are also frequent shifts between the
minor and relative major. Examples 1 and 2 show typical harmonic pro-
gressions in minor keys.
Ex. 1. "Alia CChoreae polonicaeD," fol. 73v.
G minor: i VII VI III iv I ig i V VI V III IV I V I || i VI VII v VI IV
V ig IV V I
Ex. 2. "Nu bin Ich durch liebe zu trawren gebracht," fol. 50v.
G minor: i V^/III IHg III V/III i V I || i Vg/lII III i V/III i V I
3^
The vacillation between i and I produces frequent cross-relations,
as may be seen in the following example:
Ex. 3. "Pavan Hispan," fol. 22v.
¥ 2
r
mm * p
j = ^ J ./ r
The composer seems to have been experimenting with such modal changes,
and occasionally the results are very lovely and expressive. It should
be remembered that the problem of interpreting musioa ficta does not
exist in a tablature notation, so the composer's cross-relations may be
taken at face value.
Typical progressions in the major tend to be simpler than those
in the minor, as may be seen in the following:
35
Ex. 4. "Aufzug: Gar sehr ist mir mein \ / entzundt," fol. l*5r. >/
F major: V IV vi V I || I Vg I V I Vg I V ii I vi V I
Many of the pieces have cadential tonic chords which lack the third, which
gives those pieces a misleading archaic quality. Scholars who favor an
early date for this manuscript might cite this feature in support of their
case, "but the remainder of the harmony belies a date that might be assigned
to those cadences alone.
Although most of the melodies are distinctly major or minor, there
are some which have a strong modal flavor. The Dorian is the most popular
mode. The next example, for which the progression was quoted in example 2,
is a particularly successful specimen of it:
Ex. 5* "Nu bin Ich durch liebe zu trawren gebracht," fol. 50v.

Several features of this melody are characteristic. The range is about
an octave and a fifth; step-wise motion and skips of a third predominate;
the contour moves in gentle waves; and there is melodic activity in more
than one register, which exploits the tone-colors of the instrument.
There are frequent melodic sequences. Unfortunately our composer
does not follow the axiom of three repetitions, and at times he simply
does not know when to stop, as may be seen in this excerpt:

In some instances Stobaeus wrote simple four-square phrases of the
type which later became the norm, but as often as not his phrases contain
odd numbers of measures. Example 7 shows how a cadence is extended to
create a nine-measure phrase. A seven-measure phrase is illustrated in
example 8.

Stobaeus did not normally use the style brise, but there are a
few pieces which show features of it. In this "broken style," arpeggios
and snatches of melody in different registers provide continuous sound on
an instrument which lacks the ability to produce sustained chords. Example
9, "Courant Sans Chanterell," is closer to this style than most of the
other pieces.

There is a sort of question-and-answer effect between the higher and
lower registers, especially beginning in measure 23. Much shorter exam-
ples of this technique are found in many of the pieces.
The rhythm of most of this music is simple, but it poses some
complex editorial problems. These seem to be caused both by carelessness
in notation and by occasional intended rhythmic irregularities which a
modern editor might interpret in more than one way; unfortunately, it is
not always easy to distinguish between the careless errors and the in-
tentional irregularities. In example 10, however, the improvisatory style
suggests that the rhythm was not always supposed to fit conveniently into
four-beat measures:

Dynamics and tempo are two elements which cannot be discussed
at length with regard to this music. The only information which might
relate to dynamics is the treatise material on folio 2br which advocates
thumb-out technique rather than thumb-under because it provides a brighter
sound. If this opinion was indeed Stobaeus1 own, it might be that he
preferred a sound less quiet than that favored by earlier lutenists. A
treatise excerpt on folio 26r makes short mention of dance tempos: "Den
Tact soil man in Pavanen, Phantaseyen, Fugen, Madrigalen und andern stucken
langsam schlagen. In Volten, Curanten geschwinde In Galliarden." ("One

from the manuscript that they possess very much individuality. This being
the case, one wonders what sort of associations Stobaeus and his contem-
poraries may have had with them. Whether or not the dance tunes were meant
for dancing must also remain conjectural, but their simplicity might well
have lent them to that purpose.
Attributions to Other Composers
Most of the lute music in this collection does not bear the name
of any composer. Since Stobaeus was the owner of the album, the unmarked
pieces are presumed to be his work. There are, however, ten distinguish-
able names that appear on some twenty-six pieces. Unfortunately, Stobaeus
did not cite the full names; instead, he wrote abbreviations of all or
part or wrote the last names only. Although he used Roman letters rather
than deutsahe Schreibschri^ft for most of them, the very tiny script is
extremely difficult to read. In his remarkably accurate list of the con-
tents of this manuscript, Augustus Hughes-Hughes made suggestions regarding
the identities of the individuals."^ The present reading of the names
disagrees with Hughes-Hughes in only one place. In contrast, Hans-Peter
Kosack's list is not entirely reliable.11
Following is a list of the names cited in the manuscript together
with the folios on which they are to be found:

On folios 9v and 50r there may "be two more names, hut the letters are
so tiny as to be indistinguishable. Hughes-Hughes did not cite them,
probably because he was also unable to read them. . There might well have
been some others which are now faded beyond recognition.
Not one definite identification can be made from Stobaeus' trun-
cated citations; however, it is at least possible to make some suggestions,
The name to appear most often is "Decker," with eight attributions. There
is no record of a composer by that name in Konigsberg, but perhaps he was
an amateur of insufficient recognition to be remembered in history. On
the other hand, if the man was not from Konigsberg, he might have been a
member of the musical Decker family of Hamburg. Eberhard Decker, 1532-
ca. 160U, was a cantor; his son Joachim, ca. 1575-l6ll, and his grandson
k6
12 Johann, 1598-1668, were both organists. It is known that Eberhard wrote
13 ll lute music. Hughes-Hughes suggests Joachim as the Decker in question,
but on the basis of dates, Johann seems to be the best possibility of the
three.
A suggestion for "Frid. Lin." is Friedrich Lindner, ca. 15^0-1597,
who was primarily a composer of motets, but since he was much older and
his career was in Ansbach and Nurnberg,1^ quite distant from Konigsberg,
he seems an unlikely candidate. On the list is a "Thorn. Lind. Lub." who
cannot be identified; Hughes-Hughes gives his name as "Thomas Lindner
Lubecensis" (of Lubeck),"'" but there is apparently no record of such a
person. Perhaps Hughes-Hughes was merely guessing, in which case Lindner
might not even be the right name; also, "Lub." could refer to Lublin as
well as Lubeck. Whatever the case, "Thorn. Lind. Lub." and "Frid. Lin."
might have been members of the same family. The name "Linn." on folio
73r might also refer to one of them.
Similarly, given the inconsistencies in contemporary spelling,
"Madel," "Johann Wade Madl.," and "Madl." might all refer to the same

person. Kosack cited a "Magdeburg," but this was apparently a misreading
of Magdelung. Perhaps Kosack jumped to conclusions because he was aware
of Joachim Magdeburg, who lived from 1525 to 1599 and was cantor in Pilsen.18
There is, however, no evidence to connect him with Stobaeus or Konigsberg.
The cases of "Petro Moro" and "Frans Rasch" are slightly different
from the others. Instead of being written in small Roman letters as de-
scribed above, these names are written in deutsohe Sohreibsohrift of a
normal size. Although Kosack lists them as composers,"^ their names may
be part of titles instead: "Courant Petro Moro," and "Courante Frans Rasch."
Since the men cannot be identified, this cannot be clarified. The only
Moro on record is a Giacomo Moro da Viadana, dates unknown, who flourished 20
m the last decades of the sixteenth century. There was also a Johann
Rasch, ca. 151+0-l6l2, who was an organist in Vienna,21 but it is unlikely
that either of these men was connected with the Moro and Rasch of this
manuscript.

For the remaining names of "Henckl," "Leonis," and "Kul.," there
are few clues. There were two Italian composers named Leoni: Giovanni
Antonio who lived from the end of the sixteenth century until shortly
22 after 1652, and Leone, who lived from ca. 1560-1627.23 Hughes-Hughes
2k
read the name as "Leo" but there is no one of that name to consider.
He also suggested that Kul." meant "Culmbach," ^ hut again no one can
be identified with that name.
The Lute Instructions
The French-Tablature Instructions
There are two short sections of lute instructions in Stobaeus'
album. The first is modern and pertains to French tablature. This sec-
tion (folios 2kr through 28r) is entitled "De Methodo studendi in testu-
dine" and contains eight short chapters:
1. The Right Hand (folio 2l+r)
2 . The Left Hand (folios 2 l + r - 2 5 r )
3. Full Chords (folio 25r)
Coloraturas (folios 25r-25v)

5. Mordents (folios 25r-26r)
6. Tactus (folio 26r)
7. Proportion (folio 26r)
8. The Tuning of the Lute (folio 26r)
Following these short chapters the writer presents some advice to lute
students concerning aptitude, choice of an instrument, development of a
quick hand, methods of practice, and rhythm. Concluding this portion are
some specific examples of left-hand fingering.
The most significant part of the entire section is its short first
chapter concerning right-hand technique. In it Stobaeus advocates the
thumb—out hand position which became popular in the seventeenth century.
It superseded the sixteenth-century position in which the thumb moved
toward the palm of the hand and under the fingers; this older position
had evolved from the fifteenth-century technique of playing the lute with
a plectrum.2^ Stobaeus actually condemns the old technique, supporting
his position by mentioning famous lutenists who subscribe to the new.
Among them is Dowland, who is reported to have changed from thumb—under
to thumb-out. Stobaeus ascribes the advantage of a crisp and bright
sound to the new technique, while criticising the old for producing a
dull, muffled sound. Among the writers to discuss thumb-out technique,
Stobaeus is notable for the clarity of his statements.2^

In chapter 2 on left-hand technique Stobaeus points out that the
player does not stop the strings with the whole hand, for the thumb does
not stop. Instead, it stays under the fingerboard in a position which
would allow the fingerboard to rest on it. It is obvious that it does
not rest on it, however, for one is told that the thumb should move with
the fingers as they go up and down the fingerboard. One is further ad-
vised to keep the fingers near the strings while they are not playing,
and to use the fingers in order. Following the latter advice are exam-
ples clarifying that the index finger should normally play the first
fret (b), the middle finger the second fret (c), and so forth. Beginning
with the index finger, the fingers are numbered 1-1+, and the system of
indicating fingerings with one to four dots placed to the right of the
tablature letters is illustrated. The discussion of left—hand technique
closes with instruction in holding a bass or discant note while other
parts play figurations (coloraturas). A cross ( + ) above or below a
tablature letter signifies that the note should be held.
The third chapter is restricted to a very brief explanation of
full chords, which are said to be easy if one follows the rule "index
finger plays the first fret (b)." Chapter It, which is not much longer,
consists of a description of coloraturas. These are in the form of
stereotyped figurations or written-out ornamentation. Two types are
differentiated: simple and conjunct. The simple are single lines with-
out accompaniment, and are to be played with the thumb and index finger
the right hand. The conjunct are lines with one or more accompanying
notes, and are to be played with the index and middle fingers. If the
figuration begins on the beat, the thumb begins the simple ornament but
the conjunct ornament is begun by the middle finger.
51
The fifth chapter shows two kinds of "mordents;" the first orna-
ments a note with the note below, while the second is described as a one-
note trill or a quick repetition of the same pitch to be played with the
little finger. A written-out example is shown for the first, but only
instructions and an example of an appropriate place to apply it are given
for the second. One is advised that all Movdanten may be improvised ac-
cording to the wishes of the performer.
Chapter 6, concerning the tactus, is a simple illustration of men-
sural notes from o through ^ (semibreve through semifusa), telling
which portion of the metrical unit is assigned to each note. The semi-
breve (whole note) is worth an entire beat. Chapter 7> on triple or pro-
portion, deals with the proportional relationship between two and three
which occurs when a dance in duple meter such as the galliard, courante
or volte is followed by a variation in triple meter. The important infor-
mation here is that in the variation in triple meter, a whole unit is equal
to a half unit of the duple dance rather than the one for one equation that
the neophyte might presume. The last chapter illustrates how the tuning
of a lute may be tested by playing a series of unisons or octaves in which
one string is open and the other stopped.
The advice to students and the examples of right-hand fingering
which follow the eight chapters are copied from works by Jean-Baptiste
28 .
Besard. The advice is abridged from his Isagoge n artem testuavnavvam
and the examples from his Novus partus, both of which were published in
1617. Since there has been much confusion regarding Besard's publications,
28. I am grateful to Douglas Alton Smith for calling this to my attention.
52
the situation should be explained here. His lute instructions were first
published in 1603 in an anthology entitled Thesaurus harmonious, of which
he was the editor. It contains i+03 pieces in French tablature by Besard
and many other important lutenists of his time.29 The instructions, en-
titled De modo in testudine studendi libellus," are written in Latin.^
Since they achieved considerable popularity, Besard published a revised
edition of them in 1617, with a new anthology of lute music entitled
Novus partus. A German translation of the revised instructions was issued
in the same year as a pamphlet, under the title of Isagoge in artem testu-
dinariam. The translator, identified only as "I.N.," added a few remarks
31 of his own but made no important changes. It is interesting that for
some unknown reason, the German version was issued a few months prior to
32 Novus partus.
On folios 26V and 27r of his album Stobaeus, without citing his
source, copied two non-consecutive passages from the Isagoge in artem
testudinariam. Although Stobaeus abridged the material and changed a few
words, there is more than enough identical wording to verify that the
passages are derived from the Isagoge and are not, as might be suspected,

independent translations from Thesaurus harmonious or Novus partus. The
passages in question are on pages 1—3 and 18 of the ZsaQO03.' ~' The exam-
ples of left-hand fingering on folios 27v and 28r of Stobaeus' album are
also from Besard. Their abridged headings in Latin identify their source
2k as Novus partus, pages 3-7•
Stobaeus divides Besard's advice to lute students into sections
which may be summarized as follows: l) In order to achieve success, a
student must love music and must practice; however, he should take care
to achieve a sensible moderation and not to practice too strenuously.
2) One should select a lute which is neither too large nor too small, but
suited to one's hand. This lute should have at least ten courses,for
the more courses a lute has, the better it sounds. 3) In order to develop
a quick hand, one should avoid rubbing oil of tartar or wearing gloves or
rings on the hands; instead one should keep his hands clean and avoid
strenuous exercise such as fencing, h) Once a person has begun such study,
he should keep it up. One time might be better than another for practice,
but once the student finds the right time he should work very hard, prac-
ticing a piece until he has mastered it. When working on a piece one
should practice it section by section rather than all at once. It is

better to begin with pieces which present no particular difficulties with
stops or rhythms. One should be careful with the beat and not hurry. In
the beginning there is nothing better than to proceed with patience, and
nothing worse than to hurry. Chords and individual notes should be played
slowly and cleanly. The player should be concerned with his facial ex-
pression, and should keep his right arm firm and steady. The thumb and
fingers should not move too much when playing coloraturas.
The German-Tablature Instructions
On folios 36r through llr of his album Stobaeus presents some
older lute instructions which pertain to German tablature. The section
begins with some general comments. The lute is praised as the best-
loved and most artistic instrument commonly heardj a person who desires
to learn to play it is advised that he must have a real love of lute
music and be very diligent in order to succeed.
After this introduction, the author presents five short chap-
ters :
1. True Left-hand Fingering (folios 36v-37r)
2. Striking and Ornamenting with the Right Hand (folios 37r-38r)
3. The Small Cross and Its Meaning (folio 38r)
k. Tuning the Lute (folios 38r-38v)
5. Rhythm (folio 38v)
Chapter 1 contains some information quite similar to the modern in-
structions . the player should keep his left hand free to move up and
down the fingerboard and should keep his fingers low, in a side-by-side
55
position if possible. The system of dots for left-hand fingering is ex-
plained; one dot over a tablature letter indicates the index finger, two
dots the middle finger, three dots the ring finger, and four dots the
little finger. This is illustrated on folio 38v by a small drawing of
a left hand with dots on the fingers. The same system is similarly il-
lustrated in Hans Newsiedler's Ein Newgeordnet kunstliah Lautenbuah of
36
1536. The chapter gives a few examples of fingering, pointing out that
in stopping three strings on the same fret, it is unnecessary to use
three fingers. The player is cautioned to make sure that all voices
sound clearly.
In chapter 2 on right-hand technique, the player is told to use
the thumb and index finger for playing runs and coloraturas. It is in-
teresting that the author advocates the thumb—under technique which was
denounced in the preceding modern instructions. The thumb-under tech-
nique is commended here for giving greater dexterity in ornamenting. In
connection with the right hand, the author explains two more uses of dots.
When two dots are found beside a letter, the chord on that beat should be
played with all of the fingers rather than the thumb alone. A dot be-
neath a letter indicates that the index finger should be used; this
applies particularly to runs or figurations played by the thumb and
index finger.
Chapter 3 on the small cross conveys information similar to the
modern instructions: a note marked with a cross should be held while a
36. A facsimile of this work is reprinted as Series A vol. I of Institutio pro arte testudinis (Neuss/Rhein: GbR—Junghanel—Paffgen-Schaffer« 197*0 .
56
moving part is being played. In this section the cross is supposed to
be beside the letter rather than above or below it as in the modern in-
structions .
The tuning method in chapter ij- is like the one given by Newsiedler
and also by Matthaus Waissel.^ As was customary, no pitch was specified
for the top string; rather, it was to be tuned as high as the performer
wished and the string could stand. The method specifies that the low
string is to be tuned to the same pitch as the high string, at the octave
(actually two octaves). Once the outer strings are tuned, the timing of
the rest of the strings is derived by matching the following at the octave
(strings are numbered from the top):
the second fret on the low string and the third string
the third fret on the third string and the fifth string
the second fret on the fifth string and the second string
the third fret on the second string and the fourth string
In this chapter on tuning, the organization of the entire section
breaks down. There are brief discussions in Latin on fingering and rhy-
thm; a method for tuning two descant lutes and one bass lute together;
short poems about the lute; short instructions for tuning a lute with the
violin, harp or cither; another tuning method for a single lute; and
finally, on folio k2r, on a page jammed with scriptural quotations relating
37- Waissel's treatise has not been reprinted; however, it is discussed and translated by Douglas Alton Smith, "The Instructions in Matthaeus Waissel's Lautenbuch," Journal of the Lute Society of America VIII (1975), ^9-79•
57
to music, drawings of two left hands, one giving the names of the fingers
and the other showing letters of German tablature on different parts of
the hand. The latter is a sort of adaptation of the Guidonian hand for
lutenists, showing which letters of tablature are played in first, second
or third position rather than showing solmisation syllables as in Guido's
system. Stobaeus illustration is similar but not identical to several
shown in Ain sohone kunstliohe undevweisung by Hans Judenkunig.38
Authorship of the Instructions
Both the older and newer sets of instructions in Stobaeus' book
contain information which is found in many other sources• Presuming
Stobaeus to be the writer, it is uncertain which, if any, of the in-
structions were original with him. The only outside sources which have
been identified to date are the works by Besard which are discussed above.
It is possible, however, that all of the material was copied from pre-
existing sources. A reasonable hypothesis is that Stobaeus had access
to a number of printed and hand—copied lute treatises which circulated
among his friends and colleagues, and that he copied some of his favorite
excerpts in his album along with his own remarks. Although he may have
copied from some sources which no longer exist, more of his sources be-
sides Besard may yet come to light.
It is not safe to infer that Stobaeus endorsed all of the ma-
terial included in the treatises. It is particularly likely that the
38. Helmut Monkemeyer, ed., presents a facsimile of the text of this work along with his transcription of the music (Hofheim am Taunus: Friedrich Hofmeister, n.d.).
58
older instructions using German tablature were included purely for didactic
purposes. Several points suggest that he did not endorse the material in
the newer instructions; for example, the small cross which symbolized a
held note did not appear in any of the pieces, and the use of dots to in-
dicate fingerings was rare. Recently some scholars who have mentioned
this manuscript in studies of lute technique have attempted to use the
treatise material as evidence in dating the manuscript. Such evidence
is inconclusive, however, for the instructions could have been copied
years after they were first written. This must have happened in the case
of the German tablature material. It is established that the Besard ex-
cerpts were not copied before 1617, but this does not contradict literary
evidence suggesting that the whole manuscript was compiled about 1638.
39• See Beier, op. ait., 20-21; he is incorrect in assuming that "l6 c. 19 (folio ^0r) is a date. Instead it is a source location for an excerpt: Lib[er] 16 a[anto] 19. The passage is a history of the quasi-mythical musician Arion; for his story see Edith Hamilton, Mythology (New York: Mentor Books, I9U2), 289.

THE LITERARY PORTIONS OF SLOANE 1021
The German of Stobaeus' Time
Identification of historical period and dialect is very important
in approaching a German manuscript, for throughout its evolution, the
German language consisted of a rich diversity of dialects. For someone
accustomed to modern standardization, the extent of this diversity is
difficult to imagine. In broadest terms, the German dialects may be
classified as High (Hoch) or Low (Nieder). These potentially confusing
words do not refer to quality, but rather to the altitude of the regions
where the dialects originated. Central German (Mitteldeutsch) is some-
times classed separately, but it is more often classed as a major sub-
division of High German.
The low dialects developed in the flatlands along the North Sea
and the Baltic Sea. On a modern map, this would include the northern
coasts of the Federal Republic of Germany and the German Democratic
Republic, as well as portions of Poland and the Soviet Union. The high
dialects developed in the mountainous southern regions which now include
Austria, Switzerland and Bavaria. The central dialects developed in a
strip of land which now cuts across the center of the Federal Republic
and the south of the Democratic Republic.1 The sub-dialects within

6o
these broad groups were fostered by the plethora of sovereign states
which governed German-speaking peoples.
Since High German has achieved predominance, the development
of modern German is normally chronicled according to its evolution.
Scholars of the language recognize these approximate periods: Old
High German, 770-1050; Middle High German, 1050-1350; Early New High
2
German, 1350-1650; and New High German, l650-the present day. Some
authorities further divide the Early New High German period by labeling
1350-1520 as "earliest."3
Amid a bewildering array of dialects, conscious and unconscious
moves toward standardization were beginning toward the close of the
Middle High German period. The following influences were particularly
instrumental in creating a standard language: l) imperial and municipal
chanceries regularly began to keep records in German rather than Latin
in the fourteenth century, and the writing styles of the most important
chanceries, the so-called Kanzleispraehen, became models in their re-
i|
spective dialects; 2) printing from moveable type was invented in the
middle of the fifteenth century, and this caused the dialects of the
most important printing centers, the so-called Druokerspraohen, to be
disseminated; and 3) Martin Luther's translations of the New Testament

his so-called Bibetdeutsch was read by a wide audience.^
Luther acknowledged that his translation was based on the writing
style of the Saxon Chancery, 'which ... is representative of the East
Central dialect. He was such a gifted writer that he improved greatly
upon his bureaucratic model, enlivening a stilted style with skillful
7
borrowings from the language of the common people. Both the success of
the Reformation and quality of Luther's writing helped his translation
to achieve tremendous popularity, which proved decisive in making the
East Central dialect the basis of a standard written language. As might be expected, the areas which remained Catholic were the slowest to adopt
g
it. As Luther's Bibetdeutsch became more and more influential, the
terms Hochdeutsch or deutsche Hochsprache acquired the meaning of "standard
German," and by the end of the sixteenth century the Hochsprache had be-
come the dialect of upper-class and educated Germans in Protestant areas.
In northern districts the indigenous Low German lost status and became
9
reserved for country people and members of the lower classes.
It is interesting that the East Central dialect was also used by
the Teutonic Knights in East Prussia; they took it with them when they
colonized the pagan land in which Prussian, a Baltic rather than Germanic
language, was originally spoken. They used East Central German both for

62
official and literary purposes until the early fifteenth century. How-
ever, as their power waned, their dialect was superseded by East Elbian,
a sub-dialect of Low German. Simon Dach's poem entitled "Grethke Lied,"
copied on folios 8jv and 88r of Stobaeus' album, preserves an example of
it." 1 Much of it is unintelligible to a student of modern German. For-
tunately, since Stobaeus and his circle were members of the educated
class, they normally wrote in the deutsche Hochsprache derived from the
East Central dialect, as it existed in the closing decades of the Early
New High German period. Except for Dach's digression, this was the German
used in Stobaeus' album. After some minor adjustments, a person who reads
the modern Hoehsprache can decipher it with little difficulty.
Most of the German words in the album are written in deutsche
Schreibschrift; this characteristically German handwriting is often
loosely termed "Gothic," but to be more precise, it should be called
"German cursive." It evolved in the sixteenth century from true Gothic
12 cursive, which was the informal counterpart of Gothic print. Early
in the same century Fraktur, a highly decorative German variety of Gothic
13
print, came into fashion. There are a few examples of Fraktur in
Stobaeus' album. Deutsche Schreibschrift and Fraktur have always been

so closely associated with the German language that they have been
used exclusively for German words. This is true in Stobaeus' album,
where Roman letters are used for Latin. The Fraktur and Schveibschvift
which were so firmly implanted by Stobaeus' time were to remain in use,
albeit with slight modifications, until the mid—twentieth century. The
early Sahreibsahrift is more ornate than later styles, but its basic
letter shapes are the same.
The German of Stobaeus and his friends has not been modernized
in transcription, since such a change would destroy much of the album's
distinctiveness and charm. Thus, it is useful to mention some ways that
this late Early New High German differs from the modern. No attempt will
be made to give a technical explanation such as a linguist would expect;
instead, some points will be mentioned which should help an ordinary
reader of modern German to make sense of the earlier texts.
Fortunately, the grammar of the l630's was quite similar to the
modern; the writers did make frequent use of the subjunctive, so the
reader should watch for it. The spelling is the source of most of the
problems, for it was not yet standardized in Stobaeus' time. In the
album educated writers spelled differently from one another, and in-
dividual writers used variant spellings of the same words. It is
apparent from its deliberate use that this variation was a feature of
learned writing; a writer demonstrated his knowledge by showing off
the multiple spellings in his repertory. Many spellings which have
since become standard were then in use, but they were only among the
options. Also, modern rules for capitalization did not yet exist;
61*
while proper names and first words in sentences were capitalized con-
sistently, other words were capitalized at the whim of the writers.
Some important differences in vowel usage which occurred in
the early period were:
1) u was often replaced by w in the combinations eu and au;
2) i was sometimes replaced by y in the ei combination;
3) the combinations eu and au, which are pronounced alike, were used interchangeably;
k) umlaut symbols (") were not used consistently; words which now require them appeared both with and without them;
5) words with the short-e sound which are now spelled with a were usually spelled with e;
6) words with the long-e sound which are now spelled with ie were often spelled with i alone.
Prior to the last years of the period, Early New High German made no
distinction between initial i and j, or initial u and y; since the album
was probably copied around 1638-16^0, which is relatively late in the
period, it seems justifiable to make those distinctions in transcribing
it. It is especially apparent that the album's writers were differen-
tiating initial i and j.
Following are some examples to illustrate the above points.
Early spellings come from Stobaeus' album:

Some important differences in consonant usage which occurred

2) medial z was often preceded "by t;

The Konigsberger Dichterkreis and Its Poems
The Renaissance in literature occurred much later in German
lands than in many other parts of Europe. Although sixteenth—century
German writers were acquainted with literary activities in France and
Italy, it was not until the first decades of the seventeenth century
that Renaissance ideas were actually put to use in the German language.1*1
The work of poets of those decades is of special interest in connection
with Stobaeus, for he knew several poets of importance whose work is
recorded in his Stamribueh.
German poetry was in a state of decline in the days of the
Meistersinger, and many literati of the sixteenth century wrote poems
in Latin rather than German; however, by the end of the century there
was an awakening interest in vernacular poetry.1^ The seventeenth cen-
tury saw the establishment of many poetic-literary societies or Spraoh-
gesellsahaften which were dedicated to the advancement of the German
language. Members of these groups formulated theories, produced original
works, and translated important foreign works into German. The inspira-
tion for this kind of society came from the Florentine Aoademia delta
Crusoa or Academy of Bran, founded in 1582, which sought to refine the
Italian language as a miller refines bran from wheat in order to make
1(D flour. Like their model, the German groups often had fanciful names,
lit. J.G. Robertson, A History of German Literature, 3rd ed. (Edinburgh: William Blackwood & Sons, 1939), 206.

67
and their members took pseudonyms which related to those names. The
earliest German group on record was the Fruchtbringende Gesetlschaft,
founded under the auspices of the Prince of Anhalt in l6l7, whose mem-
17
bers assumed names relating to the plant kingdom.
The reform of German poetry was a major concern of the Spvach-
gesellschaften. An urgent problem faced by the poets was form, which
was a weakness of the style handed down by the Meistersinger, and the
solution was found in importation of forms from abroad. Georg Rudolf
Weckherlin, 158^-16535 was one of the first German poets to write son-18
nets and Alexandrines. His work was overshadowed, however, by that
of Martin Opitz, 1597-16399 who was the most influential German poetic
reformer of the seventeenth century. From 1619-1620 Opitz studied at
the University of Heidelberg, during which he was active in a circle
of young poets. Unfortunately, the outbreak of the Thirty Years' War
forced him to abandon his studies and flee the country. For the dura-
tion of his life he was frequently on the move, and he seems to have
had a restless disposition. He made a career of travelling widely in
the service of various nobles and dignitaries, publishing a steady stream
of poetry, studies of poetics, and other literary works as he went. His 19
last position was in Danzig, where his life was cut short by the plague.

68
Both as a poet and theoretician Opitz has suffered the fate
of being idolized in his own time and disliked by posterity. His most
important achievement vas a book of poetics entitled Zte Buch von der
deutschen Poeterey, published in 1624. I n i t h e established principles
of verse-vriting based upon alternation of accented and unaccented
syllables instead of the simple syllable-counting system which had been
passed down from the Meister singer-, he also advocated a standardized
form of High German for literary usage, and expounded rules for writing
many different kinds of poetry.20 As he acknowledged, much of the book
was borrowed from foreign writers, to the extent that he has been de-
scribed as its compiler rather than its author.21 I n any case the book
achieved a phenomenal success; the time was ripe for its message, and
it was widely disseminated with the help of the literary societies.
These rules for writing poetry set an authoritative standard that was
only superseded by the writings of Gottsched over a century later.22
As might be expected, however, the rules outlived their usefulness and
helped to bring about pedantry and artificiality in the works of some
of Opitz' followers. Justly or unjustly, many literary scholars blame
Opitz for these evils.23
As a poet Opitz was versatile, although he was at his best in
the lyric style. He was not first to introduce Alexandrines, but it

69
was he who made them an effective part of German poetry.2^ it is of
interest to musical scholars that he was also the librettist for Schtitz'
Dafne, the first German opera, of which the music is now lost.25 Es-
pecially when compared to what had come before, Opitz* style possessed
a novelty and refinement which his contemporaries admired greatly. He
made the mistake, however, of placing too much dependence on his own
rules as the means to becoming a great poet. In the judgment of pos-
terity, mere adherence to rules was unable to elevate his poetry above
mediocrity. As one author expressed it, hardly ever has such a mediocre
poet come to such high honor as Opitz.26 It is nevertheless undeniable
that he made a great contribution to the development of German poetry.
Perhaps his finest legacy was that he inspired and guided other poets
whose talent was greater than his own.
Among the poets whom he inspired were the members of a Spraoh-
gesellsohaft in Konigsberg called the Konigsberger Diahterkreis or
Freundeskreis, whose poems constitute the major literary material in
Stobaeus album. It is not apparent that the group had one constant
theme m the manner of the Fruchtbringende Gesellschaft, but its members
did take pseudonyms. L.H. Fischer reports that Johann Stobaeus was an
active member, and that his pseudonym was "DelphisUnfortunately

70
Fischer does not explain the significance of that name. It might seem
strange that Stobaeus belonged to the group, for he was more nearly con-
temporary with an older generation of Konigsberg's poets, represented
by such men as Petrus Hagius, 1569-1620, who was a rector at the ca-
28
thedral school. Stobaeus outlived many of the older poets, however,
and became involved with the new generation. Among those younger artists,
the three discussed below were named in the album as authors of poems.
The man regarded as the founder of the group, and also as its
finest poet, was Simon Dach, 1605-1659. He went to Konigsberg in 1619
m order to study at the cathedral school, where he was a pupil of Hagius.
Later he attended the university, after which he returned to the cathedral
school as an assistant teacher. In 1639 he was appointed Professor of
Poetry at the university, where he remained for the rest of his life.29
Like many of his colleagues he wrote a large number of Geleg&riheita-
gedichte, among which were poems to commemorate the third marriage and QQ
the death of Stobaeus. It is fortunate that many of Dach's works were
published during his lifetime, and many survive. In common with many
other Konigsberg poets of the older and younger generations, he is repre-
sented in Eccard and Stobaeus' Preussische Festlieder.31 Dach was an

enthusiastic follower of Opitz, but it is ironical that Dach is now
considered to have been the better poet of the two. He possessed a
genuine lyric gift and depth of feeling which mere adherence to rules
32 could not produce.
The poet who was a spiritual leader to the group was Robert
Roberthm, 1600-16^8. Unlike Dach and most of the others, he enjoyed
the advantage of having studied and travelled in many different countries
of Europe, including France, England and Italy, before settling per-
manently m Konigsberg. His sophisticated literary background was a
rich treasure to the friends, and it enabled him to obtain distinguished
posts in the city.
Gatherings of the BiohterTa>eis were held at the homes of some of
its members, and the most famous meeting-place of all was Heinrich Albert's
garden. Albert, who lived from l6ok to 1651, was Heinrich Schutz' cousin.
Albert first arrived in Konigsberg in 1626, but left the next year on a
diplomatic mission to Warsaw which resulted in his imprisonment there;
after his release in 1628, he returned to Konigsberg where he made his
home. In 1630 he obtained the post of organist at the cathedral church.3l+
It was around this time that the activities of the Diehterkreis began.35

72
Albert named his garden the Kurbis-Hutte, which translates
literally as "pumpkin-hut," but might more accurately be called "pump-
kin-arbor." He took steps to immortalize it by entitling one of his
publications, a cycle of tricinia for which he also wrote the poetry,
the Musiaalische Kurbis-Hutte.36 It is reported that Albert encouraged
the poets who met in his arbor to leave remembrances by copying examples
of their work onto the pumpkins, a request that they are said to have
granted. Although this now suggests a humorous occasion, such was not
the case. Influenced by the ephemeral aspect of their endeavor, the
poets recorded melancholy rhymes dealing with human frailty and the
37 passing of time.
Albert's most important works were his collections of Arien,
published in eight sets between 1638 and 165O. These established his
fame as one of the leading German song-writers of his time. In addition
to solo songs, the Arien include polyphonic pieces; Osthoff has drawn
attention to the fact that Albert wrote more and more polyphony in the
38
later sets. Since Albert's texts were mainly the work of his friends
in the Dichterkreis, the Arien are an excellent source for their poetry.39
There are two important links between Stobaeus' album and the
Arien. One is that there are several poems by members of the Dichterkreis

which appear in both sources.^ The other is that a few of Albert's
monodic all copies of pieces which are found in the published
collections, are written in Stobaeus' album; these are found on folios
59r-62r and 6W. It is possible that they are in Albert's own hand.
Perhaps most interesting is a setting of Dach's "Nimfe gib mir selbst
den mund on folio 6kv, which contains the only example of figured bass
in the album. As a composer of continuo-Lieder Albert was progressive,
and in this regard there was strife between him and the conservative
Stobaeus, who probably never wrote continuo. The relationship between
the two men is said to have improved when Albert sought instruction from
Stobaeus in counterpoint, in which subject Albert was weak and open to
criticism. 1 This instruction may account for the increase of polyphony
in the later sets of Arien. The presence of the continuo-Lieder in the
album suggests that the older master took at least some interest in the
genre, and supports the report that relations between the two composers
had improved.
The Date of the Manuscript
In addition to the date of 16U0 which appears with Stobaeus'
signature on folio ll5r, the date 1638 in the form of »A5. 38" is re-
corded in three places: on folio iky with Simon Dach's name, folio 62r

lb
with Heinrich Albert's name, and folio 6 W with Dach's name. These
names and dates accompany the poets' works. Since one has no way of
knowing in what order the contents were copied, a date in a Stammbueh
is not necessarily conclusive. Still, it may be significant that these
dates occur at the beginning, middle and end of the book. The presence
of any specific dates is welcome in this case, since dating of the musical
evidence is only speculative. Since there is no solid evidence to the
contrary, the possible validity of these dates must be allowed, and this
would pinpoint 1638-16^0 as the period during which the Stammbuoh was
copied.
It is interesting that the Dichterkreis received a visit from the
esteemed Martin Opitz in 1638; this was an event which prompted much cele-
bration and artistic activity.1,2 There are four poems by Opitz in Stobaeus'
Stamnbueh; one of them is on folio 62r where the date of 1638 appears, which
suggests a possible connection with Opitz' visit. In his article on these
four poems, Leonard Forster pointed out that the versions in the album are
less refined and correct than the published versions. He accounted for the
discrepant readings by suggesting that Stobaeus copied the poems from memory
or hearsay. 3 Forster was apparently unaware of the date on folio 62r; if
at least one of the poems could be connected with Opitz' visit, Forster's
opinion might need reconsideration.

75
Poems in the album by members of the Diehterkreis, copied in several
hands, also vary slightly from printed sources. As Forster suggested for
the Opitz works, perhaps all of these poems were copied from memory or hear-
say; if so, however, it was probably some of the poets rather than Stobaeus
who quoted them. What seems still more plausible is that the poems were
copied from no-longer-preserved manuscripts that circulated among the
kh
friends; these manuscripts might even have been other Stammbucher. If
people copied poetry of which they were not the authors, it would have been
easier for them to be unaware of textual corruptions in their sources.
In common with the major poems, there are many epigrams and short
rhymes m the album which are copied in several hands. These were most
likely quoted from memory or created spontaneously. It seems very likely
that the album was taken to the meetings of the Diehterkreis, and that
these examples from various contributors were obtained there. It may have
been the meetings that influenced Stobaeus to keep a Starmbuah, for such
cultivated gatherings would have provided excellent opportunities for
collecting material.
This strong connection with the Dichterkreis could provide a clue
about the purpose of the lute music. Stobaeus might have composed and
compiled it at least partly with the intent of entertaining the poets at
their meetings. If so this would help to account for his interest in a
genre which for him was uncharacteristic, for the chorale settings and
chorale motets for which he was famous would not have been appropriate on
those informal and probably convivial occasions.

A_Sampling of the Poetry
This discussion should not end without some examples of the major
poems in the Stam,buch. The following work by Simon Dach (folio 59v) has
the regular metric accents advocated by Opitz, and also shows features o f
Petrarchism, which Opitz introduced into German poetry. In Petrarchan
conceits the external beauty of a lady is extravagantly praised, often
through use of metaphor,**5 and a cold-hearted lady with a suffering lover

The Epigrams
Among German poets of the seventeenth century, the epigram en-
joyed a vast popularity. One factor that stimulated their interest was
the study of the Greek Anthology, a large collection of epigrams, epitaphs,
songs and rhetorical exercises that was compiled over a period of almost
2,000 years. Imitations of the anthology were popular in Latin literature
after the fifteenth century when they influenced both French and Italian
Renaissance poetry.1+7 Martin Opitz was one of several poets to translate
portions of the Greek Anthology into German,and such translations in-
fluenced the creation of original epigrams.

Stobaeus' album is studded throughout with epigrams, proverbs
and short poems copied in various hands; most are in German, but a few
examples are in Latin. The composer and his friends used every available
space, for even the bottoms of most pages of tablature are covered with
these little rhymes. Although literary scholars have done a thorough
study of the long poems in this manuscript, they have curiously passed
over the epigrams with mere mention. In several ways the epigrams are
more interesting, for while the long poems give a view of the skill and
artistry of the poets, they tend to be somewhat tedious and pretentious,
with some of the artificiality of style which has brought criticism to
Opitz and his school. In contrast, the epigrams are simple and direct,
and provide a treasure-house of insights into the interests and attitudes
of the people of the time.
It is unlikely that most of the epigrams are unique to this manu-
script. Instead they seem to represent a body or type of material that
was familiar to the members of Stobaeus' circle, and in some cases to a
wide segment of the German population. There are several examples of
variant versions of the same rhymes which appear on separate folios in
different hands.
Most of the epigrams are short and incisive commentaries on
aspects of the human condition, with wit and humor to increase their
impact. Despite the fact that Stobaeus and his friends lived through
the time of the Thirty Years' War, this subject is mentioned only once,
and political subjects are not mentioned at all. Instead, the range of
subjects covers personal matters, mostly of a pleasant nature, and even
82
unhappy themes are mitigated by humor. It is encouraging t h a t m e n l l y l n g
in an age of much hardship were thus able to set their cares aside.
It would be redundant to quote all of the epigr^s, for they tend
into convenient subject groups in which many poems are similar.
Since this material has not been quoted before, however, it should not be'
passed by once again with mere mention. Characteristic examples have
been selected which give a good overview of these works; they will be
discussed according to subject groups.
Aging and the passing of time provide a good starting point, for
they were favorite concerns of the writers. It has already been described
how the KSnigsberg circle, in connection with Heinrich Albert's pumpkin
arbor, wrote some truly melancholy poetry on these very subjects. The
following rhyme, complaining that the poet does not know how long he will
live, when he will die, or where he is going, typifies the much lighter
tone of these works:
Ich leb und weis nicht vie lang Ich sterb und weis nicht wan, Ich fahr und weis Gothlob wohin Mich wundert das ich so trawrig bin.
(folio iir)
The following example is possibly derived from a work in the Greek An-
thology. A young girl is told to enjoy love in her youth, because it
will not be offered to her when she is old:
Magdlein lerne tugend,
Lass dich hertzen in der Jugend, Wenn du wirst^alt und dir die augen rinnen, Welcher Juvenis will dich Lieb gewinnen?
(folio 5v)
83
This may be compared to a poem in the Greeli Anthology by Asclepiades,
who lived in the third century B.C.; if the two works are not actually
connected, they are certainly alike in spirit:
Thou grudgest thy maidenhood? What avails it' When thou goest to Hades thou shalt find none' to love thee there. The joys of love are in the land of the living, but in Acheron, dear virgin, we shall lie dust and ashes.4"
The difficulties of marital mismatches provided an apt target
for humor, as in this rhyme of an old man and a young wife:
Ein alter Man und junges weib leben selten in einigkeitt. Denn sie ist warm und er ist kalt, Sie ist jung und er ist alt. Sie begert mehr aller vermag, drumb zancken sie sich tag und tag.
(folio 9v)
This rhyme compares a hard nut and a bad tooth to a young wife and an
old man:
Ein harte nuss ein stumper Zan Ein Junges weib ein alter Man Zusamen sich nicht reimen woll Ein jeder seins gleichen nehmen soil.
(folio l6r)
It is amusing that the same rhyme occurs on another folio in reverse,
with an old wife and a young man.
h9. Quoted from W.R Paton, ed., The Greek Anthology (London: William Hememann, 1927), I, 169. wixxiam
84
The problem of money ranked with the problem of time as a favorite
complaint. One poet says that if gone were not gone, he would be richer
than he has become:
Hin ist hin, wehr hin nicht hin So wehr ich reicher als ich gewesen bin.
(folio 4r)
Yet another laments that if you »ant fine horses, „omen, meat and vine.
you must have a heavy purse:
Wer will auf schonen Rosen sitzen Und schlaffen bey Jungen schneeweissen Zitzen, Und essen gebraten das gar ist, Und trincken wein der klar ist, Der muss einen beutel haben der schwar ist.
(folio 15v)
German writers of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries have
been criticised in modern times for their occasional lapses into vulgarity.
It tends to be a shock even to some sophisticated moderns to learn that
such a revered person as Martin Luther is known to have used indecent
language. In common with the great man, members of Stobaeus' circle are
on record as having done the same. For example, the following advocates
eating dung and defecating gold as the means to win young ladies:
Friss dreck und scheiss wider golt, So werde dir die jungen Megdlein holt
(folio 31v)
85
This rhyme brings up the favorite subject of all the epigrams:
women, especially the courting of their favor and the enjoyment of their
company. Treatment of the subject is light-hearted, as in this example
which says that if playing the lute and singing with pretty girls were
part of belonging to the Carthusian Order, the writer would become a
monk:
Lauten schlagen und singen Mit schonen Frewlein ringen Wehr das der Cartheuser orden So wehr ich auch ein Monch geworden.
(folio 4r)
Following are other typical examples. God in the heart and the beloved
in arm banishes sorrows and also keeps one warm:
Goth im hertzen die liebste im Arm Vertreibt schmertzen macht auch warm.
(folio 5r)
To have young girls and old money is the best thing in the world:
Junge Megdlein und altes Geld, 1st das beste in der weldt.
(folio llv)
Great men and beautiful young women should be served well and troubled
little:
Grossen Herrn und Schonen Jungfrawen Soil man woll dienen und weinig trawen.
(folio 12r)
86
In the only comment on war In the whole manuscript, the poet says that he
prefers strolling with young women to losing his body and his life In the
war:
Lieber wil ich nach Jungfrawen spatzieren Den im krieg Leib und Leben verlieren.
(folio J+7r)
Women of ill repute are not neglected. This rhyme says that a woman
who likes to drink brandy, wink at fellows and shuffle her feet will be-
come a whore if she is not one already:
Ein Jungfraw die gern brandwein trinckt, Den Gesellen mit den augen winckt, Thut mit den fiissn scharren aufr erden, Ists keine hur so wirds gewis ein werden.
(folio l^r)
These more explicit lines tell what to do to a woman who is beautiful,
naked, young or has a baby:
1st sie schon, Amate. 1st sie nackend, Probate. 1st sie Jung, Laudate. Bekombt sie ein kind, Baptirate.
(folio llr)
To close the subject of love with more refinement, here is a rhyme which
says that there is no greater joy than to love and be loved, and no greater
sorrow than to love and not to be loved:
Kein grosser frewd ist hie auf erden Als lieben und geliebet werden, Hergegen ist kein grosser pein Als lieben und nicht geliebet sein.
(folio 8r)
87
As seen in these poems about women and love, many of the writers'
attitudes, even though softened by humor, were prejudicial. At its most
basic level this prejudice involved fixed ideas of people's character
traits or places m society. In this example a student without heart, a
young woman without merriment and a widow without money are declared to
be of no use in the world:
Ein Student ohne hertz, Ein Jungffraw ohn schertz, Ein Wittil ohne gelt, Seind wenig nutz in der welt.
(folio litr)
A fair without thieves, a young wife without love, a gentleman without
land, a Jew without a pawn, and an old goat without a beard are contrary
to nature:
Ein Fahrmarck ohne diebe, Ein Junges Weib ohne Liebe, Ein Herr ohne landt, Ein Jude ohne pfandt, Ein alter Bock ohne Barth, 1st wider die natur und arth.
(folio 7r)
Prejudice on a broader level encompassed cities, regions and nations.
In rare cases preconceptions were even complementary, as in this rhyme
which says that the poet would be a hero if he possessed the wit of
Nurnberg, the cannon of Strassburg, the might of Venice, the pomp of
Augsburg, and the riches of Ulm:
88
Der Niirnberger witz, Der Strassbiirger geschutz, Der Venediger macht, Die Augsburgische Pracht, Der Ulmer gelt,
Hett Ich das, so wer Ich ein helt.
(folio I3v)
The uncomplementary tone of the next example was far more typical.
Whoever comes from Leipzig without a wife, from Wittenberg with a
sound body, and from Helmstadt without being mugged, can boast of
good luck:
Wer von Leiptzig kombt ohne Weib, Von Wittenbergk mit gesunden Leib, Von Helmstadt ungeschlagen, Der mag woll von gutem gluck sagen.
(folio 52r)
A similar international example says that whoever comes from Sweden
without being imprisoned, from Denmark without being hanged, and from
Poland without being robbed, can say that he walks on lucky shoe-
soles :
Wer aus Schweden kompt ungefangen, Auss Dennemarck ungehangen, Auss Polen unbestolen, Der sage Er gehe auf gliicklich schusolen.
(folio Tlr)
Since these rhymes do not refer to specific events, it would not be
surprising to find the same rhymes with names of other cities or coun-
tries substituted, depending on the prejudices of different writers.
89
It has been pointed out that Stobaeus was of Polish ancestry;50
however, the following is somewhat critical of the Polish. It seems to
be a seventeenth-century rendition of the Polish joke. Bows, gossip
and clothes are well-understood by Poles:
Auf Kleider Reverentz und schnacken, Verstehen sich wol die Polacken.
(folio 71r)
This suggests that Stobaeus did not identify with his Polish heritage.
On the verso of the same folio it is worse for the Russians and Lithu-
anians, who are only grudgingly considered to be human:
Russen, Littawen sind auch Leiithe.
(folio Tiv)
Most scathing of all is this scatological description of how three
ravens flew, who defecated a Swabian; out of the stink came a Franco-
man, who made a Bavarian on the bank; out of all that came the Austrian,
and from hunger he defecated a Polak and a Hungarian:
Es flohen drey Raben, Die schissen einen schwaben, Und aus dem gestanck ward der Franck. Der macht den Bayern aufr banck, Dass geschahe ohn alles gefehr, Drauss ward der Ostreicher, Und Derselbe schiss fur hunger Einen Polen und beschoren Ungern.
(folio 7ir)

Of course there are no degrading remarks concerning the citizens of
Konigsberg or "the Duchy of Prussia.
On the subject of drinking, one who is drunk is said to speak
from the heart:
Trunckner mund spricht des grund.
(folio 109r)
In the next example, whatever the poet drinks causes a problem. If
he drinks water his mouth droops; if he drinks shyly he will become lazy;
if he drinks beer he will be full; if h e drinks wine he will drink him-
self dull; consequently, he does not know what to drink:
Trinck Ich wasser so hengt mirs maull, Trinck Ich schewrer, so werd Ich faull, Trinck Ich bier so werd Ich voll, Trinck^Ich wein so trinck Ich mich doll, Ich weiss nicht was Ich trincken soil.
(folio 53V)
It might seem strange to make a transition from drinking to God,
but it is done in the following rhyme. The poet is praying that God
give him strength for his hard journey, help him to avoid drunkenness,
and help him to sing praises joyously:
Ach Goth zur schweren wanderschafft, Verleih mir deines Geistes krafft, Hilff das Ich meid die Trunckenheith, Und Dir lobsing mit Freidigkeith.
(folio 115r)
This is typical of the writers' attitude toward religion, which in the
context of these light-hearted poems, is shamelessly practical. God is
91
included in everyday happenings and worldly schemes of which He might be
vary. For instance, someone is hoping in the Lord and waiting for the
time when a rich man dies and he gets his wife:
Ich hoffe auf Goth und warte der Zeitt Stirbt ein Reicher, so bekom ich sein weib.
(folio l6v)
Another example features a student asking God for necessities such as
a hat and shoes, and then concluding by asking for a pretty wife and
few children:
Ach Gott durch Deine gute! Bescher einm Studentn schu und hute Mantel und Rocke, Ziegen und Bocke, Schaffe und Rinder, Ein schon weib und wenig Kinder •
(folio 13v)
Perhaps most representative of these writers' attitudes about life is
this rhyme advising a person to act in a manner appropriate to each
situation. One should be pious in church, discreet on the street, care-
ful around gentlemen, friendly in bed, sumptuous at court, correct in
business affairs, pleasant at the table, and diligent at home. Whoever
does all of these things will please both God and the world:
In der kirchen andechtig, Auf der gassen zuchtig, Bey herrn fursichtig, Im bethe freundlich. Zu hoffe prechtig, Zu sachen richtig, Uber tisch frolig, Im hause fleissig,
Wer diese stiicke helt, Goth und Weld wollgefellt.
(folio 79r)
As a final example, here is some good advice which is translated in
the writer's format:
92
Do not
Nicht
tell
do
believe
judge
Sag
Thue
Gleub
Richte
all that you
alles was du
know,
can,
hear,
see.
weist,
kanst,
horest,
siehest.
(folio illy)
The location of this example indicates that the writer associated it
with religion, for it is copied on the folio where Geistliahe Lieder
begin.
Poems Concerning the Lute
In the epigrams and other short rhymes the lute is a very
popular subject. Since this study concentrates on the lute, the rhymes
which speak of it are presented here with summaries of their content.
All of these are light or humorous, but they provide some interesting
considerations. One of the most important is that the lute was strongly
associated with romantic love in the minds of the writers. Its lovely
93
sounds were recommended several times as an invaluable aid to winning
the ladies. For the men of Stobaeus' acquaintance, the lute must have
been the quintessential instrument of courtship.
Several examples indicate that men were expected to play the
lute for women; one rhyme (folio 29r) even suggests that men accompanied
female singers ("seiten klingen, Jungffrawen singen"). There are no
corresponding examples, however, which indicate that women played the
lute for men. This may be because the rhymes were written from the
point of view of male suitors hoping to impress women with their music,
or it may be evidence that in Konigsberg society the lute was a man's
instrument. In either case the poems testify that lutes were prevalent
and beloved, and that the poets counted their music among the joys of
life.
1.
A pleasant personality, a handsome appearance, a tender heart, and above
all the noble art of the lute win the favor of pretty young ladies:
Ein frolicher feiner frischer mirth Liebliche wort und grosses guth Feine geberde, auch zierlicher schertz Eine schone gestalt und mildes hertz. Vorauss die adeliche Lauten Kunst Macht bey schonen Jungfrawlein gunst.
(folio 2r)
2.
If lute-playing and singing with pretty girls were part of the Carthusian
Order, I would become a monk:
9^
Lauten schlagen und singen Mit schonen Frewlein ringen Wehr das der Cartheuser orden So wehr ich auch ein Monch geworden.
(folio itr)
3.
Rhine vine, the sound of the lute and pretty tail young ladies banish
much sorrow when employed at the right time, and when one also seeks
an art that nourishes them with honor and favor:
Reinischer vein und Lauten KLang, Schone Jungfrawen gerad und Lang,' Vertreiben gar viell siegs und Leidt, Wen man sie braucht zu rechter zeith, Und sucht daneben eine Kunst Die Ihn ernehrt mit Ehr und gunst.
(folio 7v)
k.
A young fellow is happy when he plays the lute beautifully and a lovely
young lady sits on his lap:
Ein Junggesell frewt sich als dan, Wen er schlegt Uf der lauten schon, Und sitzet in dem schosse sein, Ein hubsches schones Jungfrevlein.
(folio lOv)
5.
When shopkeepers go for a walk, barbers play the lute and whores spin,
there is little money to be made:
95
Wen kaufleute spatzieren gehn, Balbirer auf der lauten schlehn, Und Huren spinnen, 1st bos gelt zugewinnen.
(folio llr)
6.
All of my hope and trust are in God and beautiful young women. Strings
resound, women sing, and whoever does not enjoy that is worthless:
Auss Gott und schone Jungffrawen Stehet all mein Hoffnung und vertrawen. Seiten klingen, Jungffrawen singen, Wer das nicht gern hort, 1st nicht ein scherben werth.
(folio 29r)
7.
With the sweet sound of my lute I sing a lovely song; Argus list
carefully and is especially pleased with this song:
Mit meiner sussen lauten klang, Ich gar ein schones liedlein sang, Argus streckt die ohren bald, Die stimm erquickt ihn mannigfalt, Und ward ob diesem lied besonder, Bewegt mit frewden, lust und wunder.^1

do not be lazy about mordents, and observe the tactus correctly if you
want pleasant courtship:

10.
You call me the lute; I am well known to students. God is well pleased
with me; my sweet tone earns me praise and honor. My lovely singing
moves the heart and emotions, banishes sorrow and creates joy. Whoever
holds my art in honor pleases God and man; it is pleasing to everyone
when it is presented at the right time:

11.
If you want to he an agile lutenist, cut your nails and wash your hands
often. Play slowly at first, take pains to play clearly, and observe
the tactus well if you want diligent listeners:

(folio Ulr)
12.
If you wish the favor of young ladies, use the praiseworthy art of the
lute, for when they hear the lute resound, their heart leaps for joy:
Wiltu haben Jungffrawen gunst So brauch die loblich lautenkunst, Denn wen sie horen die lauten klingen, Thut Ihn Das Hertz im leibe springen.
(folio l+6v)
98
13.
Good wine, the sound of the lute and pretty girls straight and tall
banish care and heart's sorrow when used at the right time:

EDITOR'S PREFACE
The orthography in the following treatises follows that of
Stobaeus' original German. Examples of French and German tablature
are interpolated in the texts as given by the author, but they have
been supplemented by transcriptions into modern notation. In the Ger-
man-tablature treatise the author was careless in his citations of
tablature letters, for he did not always differentiate clearly among
capital letters, small letters or small letters with horizontal dashes
above. It was possible, however, to discern his meanings from the con-
text of the discussion. These careless citations have been corrected
in the transcription.

26v 1. Ein Schuler, so er anders kein defeat von Natur hatt; muss einen
sonderbaren lust u. liebe tragen zu d. Music. So gehoret hierzu steter
u. grosser fieis u. ubungh, doch nicht gar zu gros u. iiberschwenglich,
sondern mittelmessig, also dz solches studium, fiir u. fur, doch mit
drscvetvon u. ohn einigen widerwillen getrieben werde. So gehoret auch
hierzu gedult, dz man sich hie in gantz u. gar nit iibereile. Nam
nimia festinans.
2. Was man fiir eine Laute gebrauchen soli. Inprimis erwehle dich eine
Lautte, so entwed nicht gar zu gros, od nicht gar zu klein, sondern fein
mittelmassig, u. zu deiner Hand gerecht sey, wiewol anfanglich nicht
schaden konte. Wan schon die Laute etwz grosser u. harder were, damit
du allgemach die finger lernest in die weite erstrecken. Es wehre dan
sache: dz dir die Hand gar zu kurtz were. Diese Laute soli zum wenigstn
10. od mehr Chovos haben, Dan je mehr (Laut d Experientz) eine Laute
Choros hatt, je besser sie klinget.
3. Von allerley Remedys, so man eine geschwinde Handt zu uberkommen
pflegt zugebrauchen. Ob schon Ihrer viel ihre hende selbst ausstrecken,
od Tartavoli schmieren, Auch woll eysern handschu, od aus bley gemacht
ringe an die finger legen, So rathe Ich doch vielmehr, dz du deine hand
zum offter mall waschest, u. dieselb so viel immer muglich, sauber u.
rem haltest, dan solche Netzung der Span u. Seenadern nicht allein die
stercke, sond. auch die geschwindigkeit d. handt nicht wenig befordern,
Siehe aber fleissig zu, dz du dich aller andern Ubungen, dadurch die
handt allzufest bezuhent werde: als fechten, od sonstn schwere arbeit
so immer muglich entheltest.
117
Wie man sich weiter im Lauten schlagen verhalten soil: Nach diesem
allem ist von nothen, dz so bait du dieses studivm angefangen, solches
etwz fleissig oontinuivest, In sonderheit aber des Abends, wenn du zu
bette gehest u. morgens so bait du auffstehest, durchaus aber dich nicht
selbst zu fast uberladest. Wan du dich nun ob bemeldter weise beschaffen
findest.
2?r Auch Zeitt u. gelegenheit dir nicht mangelt, so spare keiner ruhe noch
arbeit. Niin dir ein eintziges Liedlein fur die handt, lasse vom selben
nicht ab, ehe du dich desselben etzlicher massen bemuchligest u. im kopf
gefasset habest. Fahre auch im selben Liedlein nicht gleich fort, vom
anfange bis zum ende, sondern theile es in gewisse theile, examinire ein
jedes m sonderheit, u. beharre darauf so lange, u. so viel, ja vepetir
e m stucklem auch 1000 mall, da es notig, bis dz du redlich das u. also
auch folgends alle andere stucklein des fiirgenommen Liedleins wirst zum
ende gebracht od aussstudiret haben. Halte es aber fur viel besser erst-
lich em solch stucklein anzunehmen, darin nicht viel schwerer griff od
Uberlegens, damit die handt des kragens allgemachlich gewohne. Item
darin nicht viel unterschiedliche mssuren seyn.
Vom Tact u. geburlichen geberden des leibes so unter dem lauten schlagen
gehalthen u. in acht genommen werden soil: Den Tact sollen alle Ankommene
Scholaven, so viel immer muglich, vol in acht nehmen. Zu sonderheit aber
sich fur dem ubereilen huten. Dan ich dir gewisse versprechen kan, das
in diesem gantzen studio nichts niitzlichers sey, als eben anfenglich
fern gemachthen u. mit gedult d. Zeit erwarthen, Hergegen auch nichts
schadlichers als wen du anfanglich eylest, gleich werestu d. Mensur
118
aller dinge wolerfahren, welches doch nicht muglich seyn kan. Derhalben
las dir am meisten angelegen sejm, Alle griffe, alle Buchstaben, so
zwischen den griffen hirein Csic3 gesetzet werden, langsam u. rein zu
exprimiren. Dan die geschwindigkeit allgemach von sich selber naher
folget, die reinigkeit aber nicht also, Es sey dan dz du von anfang dich
derselben befleissigest u. gewehnest.
Unter dem schlagen soltu fein zierlich Geberden brauchen, sonderlich wz
den kopf u. dz Gesichte betreffen thut, u. den rechten Arm steiff u.
stetig haltest. Im gleichen mus der daume u. finger wenn sie im
Coloriren gebraucht werden auch nicht zu fast bewegt werden.

INSTITUTIOCHLUS das ist
Ein kurtzer bericht vie man nach art recht= schaffener Application beider hende finger auf
der Lauten zu lernen, sich richten soli.
3^r Wiewoll recht gesagt ist von dem Eovatio der da spricht: In nihil
multa est, ist klerlich und offenbar gniigsam in alien freien kunsten und
handtierungen, und sonderlichen in der adelichen und loblichen kunst, so
Musica genandt wird, unter welchen die Laute, die wir fur handen nicht
unter andern Instrumenten das geringste ist, sondern viellmehr das lieb-
ligste und kunstreichste, als wir teglich horen und erfahren. Von
welcher Lauten wir alhie einen kurtzen bericht anzeigen wollen, wie ein
jeglicher liebhaber dieses adelichen Instruments, zu solchem als bait mag
unterwiesen werden.
So wisse nun ein jeglicher anfenger auf der Lauten, das er als
obgemelt, mus eine sonderliche lust, frewd und wollgefallen zu diesem
adelichen Seitenspiel haben. Zum andern einen zimlichen fleis und willen
daran wenden, welcher nun diese zwey zubringt und bey ihm hath auch keinen
mangel an henden und fingern, der wird in kurtzen mit Gothes hulff er-
fahren werden. Dazu nun auch furnemlich ein rechter, getrewer und
fleissiger unterricht dienet. Soil demnach ein jeglicher diese nach—
folgende 5 stuck gantz fleissig lernen und behalten, welche die rechte
art und grund auf der Lauten in sich haben:
Das 1. ist von der waren und rechten Application Der Lincken Hand.
Das 2. von griffen, schlahen Csic3, und colleviren mit der rechten Hand.
126
Das 3. von dem Creutzlein, mit seiner bedeiitiing.
Das von der Laiitenstellung.
Das 5. von der mensur ob den buchstaben, und zifern als ich hernach ein
jegliches, in ein besonder capittel stellen und traotiven will.
36v CAP. I. Von der rechten waren application der
Lincken Handt.
Applicatio heist wie man recht und ordentlich den kragen der
Lauten in die hand soil nehmen, und damit er die finger auf einen jeg—
lichen buchstaben setzen soil, nach art und weise des liedes so man fur
augen hath zu schlagen, wie dan hernacher bait soil angezeiget werden. 1
So nim die Lauten kragen oder hals in die hand, doch nicht so fest als du
ihn damit halten wollest, sondern das er dir also in der hand umschweb,
damit die hand, wo es von nothen wehre, konne leichtlich auf den kragen
auf und abe fahren. Und halt den ersten finger auf den ersten bund, den
andern auf den andern, und ist das die Summa, das du im greiffen acht
habest, es sein 3. b. oder mehr stimmen, so merck das du die finger, so
immer muglich bey einander behaltest, auch nicht zu hoch uber sich
werffest. ratio. Denn so du auf den kragen weiter hinab must fahren,
so mustu also mit der gantzen hand fortrucken, und der neheste bund da
dir etwas zu greiffen ist, fur kumpt mustu fur den bund aus mit den
andern fingern greiffen und mit dem ersten finger auf denselbigen buch-
staben greiffen, die andern finger darnach, wie obgeredet, einstellen,
wie du es am leichtesten greiffen kanst, damit man solches desto leichter
lernen und verstehen konte, sein die Punctlein dazu erfunden, als nemlich
So du auf einem buchstaben einen punct findest stehen, als c, merck mit
127
dem ersten finger zugreiffen, wo zween als g mit dem andern und so
fortan, wo drey .. oder .. stahn. Die punctlein aber werden dir auch zur
lincken hand dienen, damit du darumb nicht irre werdest, so merck die
drey differentzen: Auf, bey und unter, Auss welchen dass erste zur
A-pplieation uns dienet, Von den andern wollen wir hernach sagen, als von
der rechten hand. Nun will ich dir etzliche exempel furreissen, und dass
vorgesagte (Auf) erkleren. Im fundament so ich dir darunter hab fiirge-
schrieben, findestu erstlich den schlag

D
Da stehet das c im ersten bund, das D im dritten. So greiffestu das c
37*" mit dem ersten, das D mit dem dritten, und also fort hinaus, wie ich vor-
gesagt, wie du von fingern und punctlein unterwiesen wirst. So sichs nun
begibt, das ein solcher schlag kompt h oder derselbigen einer, so mustu
mit der gantzen hand fortriicken, und den bund da das h instehet, und
alda der oberste buchstab ist, mit dem ersten finger greiffen, und die
andern nahe einstellen. So du noch weiter hinab kommest oder rucken must
und kompt dir ein solcher schlag

So falir mit der gantzen hand hinal) und greiff 111113 dem ersten finger das n5
und darnach ordentlich die andern, vie es dir am geringsten und leichtesten
ankompt;. Caiit-Gtci. Wen dir a~ber zvey oder 3 buchs"ta"ben in einen "bund
fallen, Gedenck mit dem ersten finger uber zwerg gelegt zu greiffen, als

welches dir das punctlein, welches auf alien dreyen stehet, anzeiget.
Dan mit dreyen fingern zugreiffen ist unmuglich und ungeschickt. Zum
letzten habe acht was du greiffest, das du fein mit aufgerichteten finger
unbeweglich greiffest, damit die stimmen volnkommen klingen, und merck
die finger nahe beieinander zuhalten. So hastu die were rechte Application,
und den gantzen grund gnugsamblich derselbigen verstanden. Denn die
Application ist das grosseste auff der Lauten Ed fui verbosior. Nu will
ich dich die Rechte Hand Lehren fiihren.
Litera tanguntur} nwneri a-minus, idcirco in una parte testudinis numevi

CAP. II. Von der Rechten Hand, Griff, Schlag, und
Colleratur.
Nach diesem alien so du nun die Application der Lincken Hand woll
verstanden hast, welches aber Exevcitatio et quotid.ianus usus je lenger je
besser lehret, ist auch nicht weinig dran gelegen, das man die rechte Hand
recht zur Lauten schicke und stelle, dazu schicke dich also: Setze zum
129
ersten den kleinen finger ein weinig unter den stern (hinter sich neben
den seiden also wen du schlegst, dz gleich die finger von den stern)
37v auffgehen, und halt den kleinen finger stet und fest auf der Lauten still,
wieviel dir stimmen furkommen, und sihe in die tabeltur was aufeinander
stehet mus geschlagen werden, als da ist

und d gleichen. Was aber einander gehet, soil nach einander mit dem
daumen und zeiger geschlagen werden als da ist

Welches ist und heist Colleriren, wie du den Choren wirst. Zum andern
merck auch fleissig, das du die finger also zum schlagen und colleriren
gewehnest, das dir der Zeiger lustig heraus, und der daume hinein in die
hand gehe, welches nicht allein eine grosse zierd ist, sondern auch
grossen nutz hinder ihm hath, so der behendigkeit im Colleriren. Zum
drithen worzu die puncten der rechten hand dienen, wollen wir auch an-
zeigen. So merck hie auch die andern 2 diffeventzen, davon droben
130
gesagt Bey und Under und 1. So du bey etzlichen buchstaben 2 Puncten
findest, zeiget dir an das du diese lbigen CsicD buchstaben nicht mit dem
daumen, sondern den fodersten fingern zweyen oder dreyen hinauf schlagen

Zum vierdten wie du recht artig colleviven solt, und leufflein
machen lernen, will ich dir auch nicht verbergen. Dazu nun die drithe
differentz noth wird sein Under, welche allein aussweiset, wie man
leufflein soil anfangen, darumb wisse das dir das punctlein das unter
einem buchstab oder zifer stehet, den zeiger anzeiget, mit welchem du
denselbigen buchstaben uber sich zwicken solt, hierbey aber merck die
lateinische Regel Quod Index iperpetuo colovem finiat. Das der zeiger

das du die stiirrmen lernest also fein subtill zusammen schlahen CsicD, das
man alle stimmen fein und jeglich in sonderheith horen mag als Disc:
A. T. B. Nun will ich dir von dem Creutzlein einen kurtzen bericht geben.
CAP. III. Von dem Creutzlein und seinem Nutzen.
Von dem Creutzlein so du bey den andern buchstaben wirst stehende
finden, will ich dir kurtze anleitung geben, wie du es verstehen solt,
und merck erstlich, das dir das Creutzlein anzeigeth das man auf den-
selbigen buchstaben soli still halten mit dem finger, damit man greiffet,
alss lange es leiden mag, und dan den finger anders wozu brauchen must
quod Latinos dooebit ex-perientia et Exempla. Das gescheht aber darumb,
damit man desto ringfertiger schlagen lerne, und mit vorthell zum theill
auch wegen das Wollstehens. Denn es gibt den buchstaben, darauf du
greiffest und stille haltest einen langen schonen nachklang unter den
andern stimmen, wie du erfahren wirst in kurtzen. Exemplu:

So viel behalt auf der lauten alhie von dem Creutzlein, und hor welter
von der stellung.
CAP. IV. Von der Lauten Stellung
Die Lauten zu richten, ist auch nicht bald zu lernen, jedoch der
ein weinig singen kan, und ein halber Musicus ist, ist dan auf ein
grosses vorthel, Denn der kan die voces conoovdirZ und zusamen stimmen.
Er weiss auch die intevvalla zu vor ex aantu, Doch will ich aus alien
modis und formen, die lauten zurichten, den geringsten weg anzeigen. Thu
ihm also zum ersten: Nimb die Lauten und zeuch die ein 1. erst oder
quint, weiter auf so hoch du wilt und die erleiden mag nach pTopovtio
der lauten, dazu stelle den grossen Bohnhart CsicH ein octav. Darnach
38v greiff das grosse C und die dazu *LYI EODEFFI, Weiter greif aufs n, und
richt die 1. vn eodem. Zum greif das f und stelle die 1+ -in eodem.
Zum letzten greif das o und stelle die 2 dazu •in eodem.

von der lauten stellung aufs kurtzste gesagt.
Wie man die lauten im abziig soli richten.
Richte so vie oben gemelt, und wan sie denn also gerichtet ist,
soltu denablassen, also das sie ein octav niedriger stehe, denn die 2
und so dir das o, die 2 und die 'Jf zusammen stimmen, so ist sie im abzug
gerichtet.

EDITION OF THE LUTE MUSIC
lUl
EDITOR'S PREFACE
The' following edition is a polyphonic interpretation rather than
a strict transcription, for a polyphonic interpretation gives a much
better representation of how the music should sound. For broader acces-
sibility it is presented in keyboard style rather than the more limited
lute/guitar style which is notated only in the treble clef.
As previously discussed, most of the pieces use Renaissance
tuning and have been transcribed in G. No octave doublings have been
assumed for any of the courses. Stobaeus' meter signatures are repro-
duced as he gave them. In most cases the rhythmic values are unaltered,
but values have been halved in cases where obsolete meter signatures
would otherwise result; such changes are indicated on the scores. Most
of the errors or unclear passages in Stobaeus' notation involve rhythm
rather than pitch. Editorial emendations of any aspects of the notation
other than the reductions or the sustaining of sonorities for polyphonic
interpretation are reported in the critical notes.

CRITICAL NOTES
The notes below show the manuscript readings for passages which
have been altered in the transcriptions. The abbreviated form employed
gives the measure number; the voice, if pertinent ( S A T B ) ; the beat of
the measure, with fractions showing divided beats if necessary; and the
original version. For example, 22 h: J) indicates that in the twenty-
second measure of a particular piece, the note on beat b was an eighth
note; h B 1: G indicates that in the fourth measure, the bass note on
beat 1 was a G.
