conceptual, and is so common over an extended geographical area, and in a variety

of cultures, that it should be regarded as a principal characteristic of music in Indian
America.
On the other hand, the music for the Rabinal Achi indicates a well-knit, well
organized, precise polyphonic structure. Rural and urban music, despite the
differences in performance styles, are nevertheless two sides of the same coin: They
are complex in structure and form, and entirely American in origin. Though we have
little documentation, the Rabinal Achi offers one of the few clues to the music and
drama of High Maya-Quich6 civilization before European contact.*

A List of Greek Music Palimpsests

NEIL K. MORAN
(TORONTO)
The earliest known Greek liturgical document which gives an indication of the
modality before the incipit of a hymn dates from the seventh century' but between
this source and the codex Lavra B' 32 with a primitive form of "Chartres" notation
from the second half of the tenth century2 the musical evidence for the development
of Greek liturgical music is very thin indeed. One has had to rely heavily on the
evidence of remnants of Greek music theory in Latin treatises from the eighth to
tenth centuries or to postulate the existence of an earlier corpus on the basis of the
later evidence. Even for the Middle Byzantine period the scholar is frequently
presented with curious anomalies which can only be explained with the assistance of
non-Greek sources. For instance, not a single asmatikon in palaeo-Byzantine
notation has come down to us although such books have survived from Bulgaria or
ancient Rus with Slavonic texts.3 The reasons for this situation are several. One can

assume on the one hand that wars in the Middle East were not conducted with a less
degree of fanaticism in the Middle Ages than they are today. On the other hand
Greek scribes would have had easier access to papyrus or paper than their
colleagues in the West but papyrus and paper tend to disintegrate with time. The
responsibility for the greatest loss of Greek sources, however, rests squarely on the
shoulders of the Crusaders who sacked Constantinople in 1204.
A hitherto unexplored avenue of research for improving this situation is presented
by the under-writing on palimpsests. A Greek text on parchment might no longer be
required for any number of reasons but rather than being discarded the parchment
was frequently washed and scrapped and then re-used as the surface for a new text.
As the ink of the older text had generally been absorbed into the hide, it could often
still be discerned. Outdated liturgical sources or codices in archaic uncials were the
not infrequent victims of this process but when one considers that over a hundred
lamb hides might be required for a single volume, one is not surprised that scribes
adapted this rather barbaric procedure.4 Greek texts are thus now to be found
hidden under Arabic, Bulgarian, Georgian, Syriac, Hebrew, Latin as well under
Middle Greek writing.
The procedures first adopted by researchers such as Angelo Mai, G. B. Niebuhr
and Constantine von Tischendorf in the nineteenth century for revealing the older
texts can now be regarded as no less "barbaric" for they resorted to chemical
reagents in attempting to resurrect the under-writing.5 If the leaves subjected to
these processes were not irreparably damaged, they were often completely
blackened by the chemicals. In the hectic search for unknown classical or Biblical
sources, liturgical and musical texts were either ruthlessly destroyed or totally
disregarded. The development exactly parallels the activities in the field of
archeology of the same era. This situation was completely changed in 1914 when
Gustav Kogel introduced the use of ultra-violet lamps to the study of palimpsests.6
Besides being much more effective than the chemicals, the rays did not damage the
parchment. Since 1914 the scientific aids for studying palimpsests has come to
include infra-red photographs, filters, composite prints, positive photostats, photomicrographs and fluorescing substances.7 All of these techniques are constantly
being improved by new developments in photography. Some of the techniques of
physical and optical examination at present being discussed include thermic neutron
activation, radiography and amplification of contrasts by chemical means.8 It is in
anticipation of the wider application of these techniques that the present list of
parchment palimpsests is advanced.

The list concentrates upon the "sung" repertoire in contrast to the "recited" texts
contained in the lectionaries of the Old and New Testament. For the latter a special
type of "ekphonetic" notation was employed. The two types of musical texts most
frequently encountered in Greek liturgical books or rolls are the stichera and the
canones, a musical form developed in the seventh century.9 By the tenth century the
stichera came to be arranged in a book known as the sticherarium, which in turn
was composed of the triodium, the pentecostarium and the octoechus (also known
as the paracletice).10The canones in contrast were compiled in a book called the
hirmologium. In the palaeo-Byzantine period chants also appeared in the menaea,
i. e. the collection of twelve books arranged according to the church year from
September first to August 31st." The menaea or menologia are, however, in the
main "text" books and are excluded from this examination except in those instances
where musical notation is explicitly mentioned.
The more melismatic musical items of the sung repertoire were preserved in
books known as asmatica, psaltica or contacaria.12 Knowledge of the contents of
these books is only a recent phenonemon but nevertheless these or related terms
(e.g. kaliphonikon) occasionally appear in printed catalogues. According to S.
Rossi, for instance, the under-writing of the palimpsest Messina gr. 157, a
"condaciarium" of the twelfth century, also appears to be a "condaciarium". Next
to the definition of the contents of palaeo-Byzantine music manuscripts, it is
probably in the investigation of these melismatic chants that the palimpsests may
have the most to offer. The list includes finally a large number of "liturgica" which
may or may not prove to be harbouring musical texts.
The results of this survey confirm the results of other examinations of parchment
palimpsests in that most of the codices can be dated to either the thirteenth or
fourteenth centuries.'" Both the economic malaise of the period and the closing of
many Basilican monasteries in Italy are to be cited as contributing factors. The
Renaissance brought however a new interest in Greek texts and the resulting higher
prices must have saved many codices from destruction. An arrangement by
centuries of the upper texts on the 110 codices here under discussion gives the
following picture:

Over a third of these codices probably originated in southern Italian scriptoria.

Three codices have an upper-writing in Georgian (i. e. Birmingham, Ming. georg. 8;
Leningrad, Pub. Bib. gr. 8 and Leningrad, Pub. Bib. gr. 41), two in Bulgarian
(Leningrad, BAN, Srez. 72 and Leningrad, Pub. Bib. gr. 70) and a single codex has a
Syriac text (London, Brit. Lib. Add. 14665).
The under-writing dates from the fifth to the fourteenth centuries. The earliest
source (Athos, Lavra, Theta 46) includes a number of hymns to the Trinity and the
most recent product was derived from a Late Byzantine music manuscript which
featured compositions by a certain "Manuel" (Vat. gr. 1837). Fragments of
sticheraria appear in six codices, whereas the triodium, pentecostarium and
paracletice are represented respectively by sixteen, six and eight codices. Only
further research will reveal what is meant by the designation "tropologium" for two
codices in the Ambrosiana of Milan (Q. 40 sup. and Q. 57 sup.). The term
"canonarium" (cf. index) can however be taken as a synonym for hirmologium.
Research into palimpsests has not infrequently resulted in the linking of leaves
from a single original manuscript in codices which today are very distant from one
another. The best example of this detective work is the text by Strabo discovered by
cardinal Angelo Mai and G. Cozza Luzi in the under-writing of the codices Vat. gr.
2061, Vat. gr. 2306 and GrottaferrataA' d' 23.14Research into the music palimpsests
is only at its beginning yet a number of hypotheses might be advanced about the
possible common origin of certain leaves. In a study of manuscripts from the Terra
d'Otranto, Andr6 Jacob lists two manuscripts from the end of the thirteenth century
containing the Schedographia which has been falsely attributed to Manuel
Moschopoulos (Vat. Barb. gr. 102 of 1290/91 and Paris gr. 2572 of 1295/96).15 Both
of these codices are palimpsests, measuring respectively 224 X 157 mm. and 225 X
180 mm. Although only the under-writing of the first has been studied in any detail
(cf. Richard no. 728a, I, p. 139), it is possible the palimpsest leaves for both sources
came from the same library. It remains to be investigated if this is equally true for
the palimpsest Paris gr. 2574, also with works attributed to Manuel Moschopoulos.
In the present list two other thirteenth century palimpsests with the works of
pseudo-Moschopoulos can perhaps be traced to the same scriptorium, even if they
are somewhat smaller in size, i. e. codex Venezia, Bib. Naz. Marc., Gr. XI, 1 (dim.:
140 X 115 mm.) and codex Wolfenbiittel, Gudiani gr. 112 (dim.: 155 x 115 mm.).
Among palimpsests with the works of Manuel Moschopoulos from the fifteenth
century are the codices Vat. gr. 19 (from 1425), Vat. gr. 21 (from 1423) and Milano,

Ambr. Q. 6 sup. (from 1425). The multifarious assortment of texts upon which these
codices are written would lead one to believe that they are related. According to
Franchi de' Cavalieri (cf. Richard no. 719, addenda xviii-xix) the two Vatican
codices can be linked to the three palimpsests Vat. Urban. gr. 154-156, which also
contain works attributed to Manuel Moschopoulos. Fifteenth century copies of the
Schedographia of Moschopoulos also appear in the palimpsests Paris gr. 2575 from
1424 and Paris gr. 2575A from 1428. More recently Ernst Gamillscheg has been able
to link all these manuscripts as well as some thirty others with the name of Georgios
Vaiophoros, a Constantinopolitan scribe who had a predilection for palimpsest
leaves.'6 A study of the under-writing of the various sources which Vaiophoros drew
upon would doubtlessly lead to the discovery of other musical items.
A few music palimpsests which possibly fit into the complex of thirteenth century
Italo-Greek scriptoria can be culled from the list at the end of this article:

All of these codices either exhibit a pendent for classical/grammatical themes or

feature local Italo-Greek authors. In a discussion of southern Italy in the thirteenth
century Nigel Wilson specifies nine codices with similar contents from Otranto, four
of which are palimpsests (Escorial 18, Paris 2089, Laur. Conv. sopp. 152 and Vat. gr.
