This label is pasted over Zelenka’s cover title, part of which may be read: gb (upper left) Nro 32 (upper right) | Missa | Mirabilium [... ] | Contini.
Title page (Zelenka’s hand): gb (upper left) Nro 32 (upper right) | Missa Mirabilium Dei | à 4 | C: A: T: B: | Violin 2. | Viola, Violoncello | Basso Continuo | Contini.
Zelenka’s preparation of the performance materials for this mass led to these being attributed to him as the composer of Missa Mirabilium Dei. See III/Z/11/3.
This mass, attributed in the Catalogo (1765) to Contini, is now established as coming from the Imperial theorbo player and composer, Francesco Conti. Zelenka also listed a mass setting titled S. Caroli Borromei by Conti (also with the mark ‘Oss’) into his Inventarium (7/25, missing from Dresden and unlisted in the Catalogo (1765).
Incipits given in Zelenka-Dokumentation, 54, Nr. 85. Horn (Die wichtigsten Schreiber, 164) identifies the copyist of Mus. 2190-D-2) as ZS O[.
