The Graduale Witracense, first discovered in the Weitra parish and city archive, is a 12th-century liturgical manuscript containing Gregorian chants for special weekdays, Sundays, and feast days in the church year. Originally used as bookbindings during the Reformation, these parchment leaves were carefully restored after being recognized by Dr. Wolfgang Katzenschlager. The manuscript, linked to Salzburg origins, features chants from Lent to July 10 and includes rare hymns like "Rex sanctorum angelorum." The neume notation, akin to St. Gall forms, includes unique features like the "oculus witracensis," enhancing its distinctiveness and contributing to studies of southern German choral dialects.

International social justice movements and the debates that ensued prompted us to start considering the contents of our website from a critical point of view. This has led us to acknowledge that most of the texts in our database are Western-centered. We have asked the authors of our content to be aware of the underlying racial and cultural bias in many scholarly sources, and to try to keep in mind multiple points of view while describing the manuscripts. We also recognize that this is yet a small, first step towards fighting inequality.

If you notice any trace of racist or unjust narratives in our communications, please help us be part of the change by letting us know.
