  • Might be a wrong page order in the first bookbinding or the book was wrongly rebound. The (later on added) page numbering is wrong, it was done without looking at the content: after p."54" there are 8 pages missing, they are at the place p."61" - p."68". Also, some pages are not numbered.
  • So, the correct page order using the wrong numbering is: 1,...,54,61,...,68,55,...,60,69,...

According to Grove Music, the Harmoniae poeticae "consists of settings of odes by Horace." Until the full original is uploaded, it cannot be ascertained whether the full work is made up of the full odes, or just songs from those odes. Tagged as both for now, the tagging can be changed later if necessary.

In the pdf "portfolio" from Daniel Van Gilst there are 7 items that are German songs and all of them seem to have a secure ascription to be from Paul Hofhaimer. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Hofhaimer To shift the pdf to a separate page would make sense, or, if he agrees, to split them into 7 parts would also be a good idea.
