[Vesperae de Confessore]

As can be seen from the survey of sources, the Vesper Psalms by Brentner have survived in many different sets. From the viewpoint of their utilisation it is possible to distinguish two sets, “de Confessore” and “de Beata Virgine Maria” (Brk Coll. 10); this catalogue follows the same logic in categorization of sources. Emilián Trolda (see Bibliography) was the first to point out the crucial problem of authorship attribution: the music survived as works by Brentner, Jacob, Schmidt, Durante or anonymously and it is very hard or even impossible to solve the problem of authorship on the basis of style.

Some parts of the manuscript were formerly transcribed for the Prague Jesuit "Seminario Sancti Wenceslai" in 1738 by Joannes Zebisch. Later, the manuscript became a property of unidentified musician Matthias Georg Neorati and it was donated by P. Adalbertus a S. Ludmilla (Franciscus Hass) to the Piarist monastery in Slaný.
