Two labels to correspond with the catalogues of 1765 and c1784 are kept with the score:

A fragment of another label is also kept in the back of the volume. [Ky]rie et Gl[oria] | Senza Pa.
Missa Fidei is the second of a trio of ‘Ordinary’ Mass settings by Zelenka bearing the titles of the three Theological (or Heavenly) Virtues—Faith (Fides), Hope (Spes), and Charity (Charitas). According to Norbert Schulz Missa Spes (ZWV 5) was dated 1724. Missa Fidei (ZWV 6) was dated by Zelenka ‘25 Novem. 1725’, and Missa Charitatis (ZWV 10) comes from c1727.
Missa Fidei might have been composed for the feast of St Francis Xavier, 1725. A report of the music for the feast in that year given in the Dresden Diarium Missionis (3.12.1725) notes Zelenka’s musical contributions: ‘Cantatum cum assistentia [...] Musicam produxit D. Zelenka’.
