Abstract: 

The author describes a yet unexplored music-manuscript from the sixteenth century which is to be found in the mixed stock of the Teleki-Bolyai Library in Târgu-Mureş. The manuscript is located in a colligate containing works from eight differerent scientifical areas – some printed, others written by hand. The twenty pages of the musical manuscript contain thirteen unique works of different letter styles. The pieces are motets on 3-5 voices in Latin on specific renaissance vocal style. No.6 and No.9 are predominantly instrumental. The mansucript was assembled between 1520–1540, and in 1579 it was bound into the colligate.
