The inventory of musical material from the Hvar Chapter in 1646 and 1647

This article transcribes and comments on the only 17th century inventory of music books so far found along the Dalmatian coast: it consists of a list of music books and items from the chapter of the cathedral in Hvar (Lesina at the time), compiled between 1646 and 1647. Although lost, the recorded music titles bear witness to the quantity and quality of music in the town of Hvar (and Dalmatia in general) during the 1st half of the 17th century. This music inventory testifies not only to the presence of the contemporary Italian (mostly Venetian early-Baroque) music literature on island ; it also reveals two titles of Tomaso Cecchini's previousely unknown opuses. Considering the importance of this source in the context of Croatian music historiography and (early) Baroque culture, a focal point of this article is an overview of the inventory’s musical content.
