A manuscript collection copied around 1460–1470, probably in southern Germany, long kept at the Charterhouse of Buxheim in Swabia and held since 1883 by the Bavarian State Library in Munich (Mus.ms. 3725). Its 256 pieces, written in old German organ tablature and mostly anonymous, include some thirty preludes, some fifty liturgical pieces and arrangements of chansons, dances and songs, among them models by Dunstable, Du Fay, Binchois and Conrad Paumann. Complete edition: Bertha Antonia Wallner (Bärenreiter, 1958–1959).
