Cantatorium
The cantatorium ( lat. Cantare "to sing") was the hymn book for the soloist chants of the Mass liturgy from the end of the seventh or beginning of the eighth century , hence an extract from the gradual . In the late Middle Ages it also contained tropes and sequences as well as extra-biblical church chants . Codex Sangallensis 359 from the tenth century, which is kept in the St. Gallen monastery library , contains a famous example of a cantatorium . The cantatoriums written in St. Emmeram in Regensburg date from the early 11th century and are now kept in the Bavarian State Library in Munich as clm 14083 and clm 14322 .
The Chronicle of Saint-Hubert ( Chronicon monasterii Andaginensis ) is also called the Cantatorium (S. Huberti) .
