Description: The earliest source of this group of pieces is a set of manuscript partbooks, compiled in Basel under the direction of Heinrich Glareanus, whose preface, in the tenor book, is dated 1527. Each of the pieces was printed in around 1538, probably by Petreius of Nuremberg, on a broadsheet, in the form of a cross: a copy of Crux fidelis appears among the collection of broadsheets now held at the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek in Munich under the shelfmark 2 Mus.pr. 156; a copy of O Crux ave is held at the Österreichische Nationalbibliotheque in Vienna; a copy of Ecce lignum is known to have existed at the Sächsische Landbibliotheque in Dresden, but was destroyed in 1945.
