Głośny rezon... Edycja kolęd z osiemnastowiecznych rękopisów biblioteki karmelitanek bosych w Krakowie

„Głośny rezon...” – An edition. Carols from the monastery of enclosed Carmelite Nuns in Cracow presents a summary of the research regarding Carmelite Christmas canticles. „Głośny rezon...” is a collection of 18th century carols, written down by enclosed Carmelite Nuns from the Cracow monastery (Wesoła quarter). Two duplicates of the main manuscript have survived: one for the male and one for the female part of the gathering. Both of them contain 163 carols related to the birth of the Lord. Th e author’s main goal is to faithfully edit the original manuscripts. Since the original „Głośny rezon...” did not include music notations, they would not be attached to the present edition either. Th e complete edition should consist of: a transcription of the 18th century Carmelite carols, a commentary with a glossary as well as a critical apparatus including diff erent variants of the texts which can be found in other Carmelite collections of canticles from the same period. Th e edition should be preceded by an account of the traditions of composing carols and caroling itself, and a description of the contents of the library where „Głośny rezon...” was found. Moreover, the edited copies should be described in every detail. Th e planned edition will provide careful account of the diff erences, subjects and the time of origin of the carols. Th e article reports which tasks have already been completed and what is left for future researc
