Abstract: By editing a volume of compositions from manuscript sources, the MAMS collection achieved one of its most important and ambitious goals in 1996. The publication of the volume Compostions Preserved in Manuscript, edited by Edo Škulj, completed the publication of the collected works of Iacobus Handl-Gallus in a modern transcription tailored to the needs of contemporary performers. The volume contains four settings of all or individual movements of the Mass Ordinary as well as four motets. Gallus’s authorship of the compositions remains uncertain. The 2025 digitized post-edition is accompanied by a new preface and an introductory study by Dr Marc Desmet that summarizes and compiles all recent findings about the composer and his work.
