Two members of our research group, Zsuzsa Czag\u00e1ny and Gabriella Gil\u00e1nyi visited P\u00e9cs at the beginning of August for a field study at the University of P\u00e9cs Library and Knowledge Cenre, the historical collections of the Klimo Libray. Five medieval notated fragments were found in the Klimo Library founded in 1774 by Gy\u00f6rgy Klimo, bishop of P\u00e9cs based on the special collections of the former bishopric library. Of particular interest was a fragment of a gradual, from whose mother codex a number of leaves survived in other Hungarian collections: in the Budapest University Library, the Szombathely Diocesan Library and Diocesan Archive, and also in the Hungarian National Archives \/ Vas County Archives, Szombathely. Based on its musical notation the gradual is directly related to the 15th<\/sup><\/span>-century antiphonal kept in the Cathedral Library of Esztergom under the shelf-mark I.3d (http:\/\/esztergom.bibliotheca.hu\/scan\/ms_i_3_d\/index.html<\/span><\/a>), they form a pair together. Also unique is the content of the P\u00e9cs fragment: while the other fragments preserved coherent series of chants from the Common of Saints, on the new fragment the Alleluia O rex et apostole Stephane<\/i> for King St Stephen is transmitted.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
