Florilegium Portense

The two volumes of Florilegium portense are an anthology of motets primarily for 8 parts and are of particular interest because J. S. Bach ordered copies for his Leipzig choirs.

• Florilegium Portense continens CXV selectissimas cantiones praestantissimorum aetatis nostrae autorum. Leipzig: 1618. (RISM 1618)
• Florilegii musici Portensis sacras harmonias sive motetas…pars altera…cum adjecta Basi Generali ad organa musicaque instrumenta accomodata. Leipzig: 1621. (RISM 1621)
