    Does anyone have a copy of the Liber hymnarius? I really need a copy of the preface IN LATIN, not in English, as is available out there.

    Thanks!

    There is a one-page "Decretum quo approbatur..."

    and then there is the "Praenotanda" extending from page vii through xvi. These pages contain much basic interpretation of chant with examples of neums.

    Is it the complete "Praenotanda" that you are looking for? What I could provide would be a scan of the pages.

    If there is no section following the "Praenotanda" labelled "Prooemium" or "Introductio" then that is probably what I need. Sorry, I really do not know how the book is laid out.

    Big thanks in advance!

    Here's the scan - including Title Page, Decretum quod approbatur & Praenotanda

    I hope the size of the PDF doesn't overwhelm anything.
