Dear Carolus, (I hope that this is the right way to answer to an Admin),

yes, that's me right in the flesh, and the typeset of Carissimi's "Jonas" has been made by me, too. Unfortunately, I cannot give you any copyright information about the score I used, but for all I know it's a copy of a late 19th century edition using C-clefs (probably of Italian provenance) our conductor gave to us choristers, when we did a concert a few years ago featuring oratorios by Carissimi. This score begins straight away at page "84" with the music, where even Carissimi's name is not given. Only the pages themselves show some identification code, namely "D.2." - I don't know what that means or which publisher could be meant...

I merely wanted to have a version of "Jonas" in modern clefs; also the German translation of the Latin text is mine own...

If my posting is illegal, don't hestitate to delete it. I just wanted to share it with other people...

Hi, Thanks for the fast response. I'll go ahead and tag it shortly. As long as you're the typesetter/editor, there will be no copyright issues involved. We'll go ahead and list you as "publisher" since posting an item on IMSLP fits the legal definition of publication in most countries. That way, if anyone should wish to obtain performance material for your edition, they can get in touch directly with you. Thanks also for uploading it here.
