Completorium secundum rubricam pragensem

LaTeX sources for a booklet of chanted Compline according to the medieval diocesan use of Prague.

Literal quotations of texts and rubrics from 16th c. early prints of the Prague breviary (always citing the exact source) are, if necessary, supplemented with explanatory notices (always marked as such) and by chant notation collected from manuscript sources (will be cited, but currently are not, in case of interest please consult annotations in transcription source files, directory cantus/).

Goal is to make relatively easily available at least a partial experience of the medieval Divine Office, while not watering down peculiarities (language, organization) of the original breviary.

It should be noted that the booklet doesn't reproduce (often very lengthy and complex) calendar rules. Anyone interested in assembling a full calendar "as the Prague Metropolitan Chapter would have used it if it followed its early 16th c. calendar up to this day" still has to dive deep in the sources. We don't expect most of the booklet's users to be interested in this kind of hardcore medievalism.
