The transmission history of Magnum haereditatis mysterium from the plainchant early sources is traced towards the early publications of the homonymous motets in Willaert’s settings. Plainchant analysis shows that the sources could follow two streams, one with the hypodorian mode in transposition, the other without it. These sources were compared, alongside with the Liber usualis, to the corresponding canti firmi in the editions of Willaert’s motets for four or five voices, to better understand the variation patterns between corresponding fragments in the motets. For this purpose, the melodic and syllabic text analysis was performed, according with Lanfranco’s and Stocker’s rules for text underlay. Finally, the comparison of a manuscript of this motet prior to its publications is made, along with a discussion of printing culture that suggests the involvement of performers, composers, publishers and theorists in this process.
