Known as the Saint Emmeram Codex for its provenance at the Benedictine monastery of Saint Emmeram, the manuscript is an important source for Christian polyphonic music and contains more than 270 individual musical works. At least sixteen scribes copied the repertoire compiled in Regensburg in the mid-fifteenth century by priest and schoolmaster Hermann Pötzlinger (d. 1469). Although most of the music was composed in the first half of the fifteenth century, some pieces are earlier, and the compositions represent both the international and central European styles.
