MUSICA DIVINA. A collection of church music, edited by Carolus Proske, priest and Capellmeister of the Cathedral at Ratisbon, and published there by Pustet. The materials were collected by Proske himself from the libraries of the Papal Chapel, St. Peter's, St. John Lateran, S. Maria Maggiore, S. Maria in Valicella, the Vatican, the Roman College, and other libraries in Rome, and also from the best collections in Naples. The prospectus was issued in January 1853, and the first volume was published in the same year. The second volume followed in 1854, the third in 1859, and the fourth at Easter 1862. All these contained compositions for 4 voices, and belong to the 'first year.' The publication was continued by a 'Selectus novus missarum' in 2 vols. (1857–1861), after which Proske died, Dec. 20, 1861. An 'Annus secundus' has since been issued containing a vol. of masses, a vol. of motets, a vol. of litanies, and a Liber Vespertinus. The work is an upright quarto, in bold clear music type; each volume of the scores has a preface, a table of contents, a list of clefs of the originals, etc., and short biographical notices of the composers. The voice parts are also printed separately. The list of the entire work is as follows:—
