Fragmentos de códices litúrgico-musicales en España: apuntes para una historiografía y una propuesta de descripción

From the Middle Ages, several circumstances have caused the destruction of liturgical manuscripts with music and their reutilisation. The remaining fragments are proof of what once was part of the Western written culture, therefore these primary sources provide insight into diverse aspects of our history. In Spain, some researchers have identified and studied those fragments, particulary the musico-liturgical ones. This article shows a historiographic review on the field, and propose, based on this review, a form for description which can be used as a model in their analysis, and serve as well as fields in a potential database in Spanish language. As a result, the information on the topic has been updated, and an accurate, and detailed descriptive-template has been addressed to the more accepted standards
