Lindemann Tablatures
The Lindemann Tablatures are a collection of manuscripts copied by Gottfried Lindemann which contain organ music from Dietrich Buxtehude and currently held in the Universitetsbibliotek, Lund. They are dated 1713-1714. It is theorized that these manuscripts may be the most direct descendent from autographs of organ music written by Buxtehude[Citation needed].
Description
"Lindemann Tab" refers to a bundle of individual manuscripts, each containing one piece.
Two hands can be identified, one of Lindemann and another from a certain "J. C. H." (the initials are left on one of the fascicles) which has added a few notes in S-L Wenster N:5 and N:9[1].
Proximity to Buxtehude
Lindemann was a student of Friedrich Gottlieb Klingenberg and Michael Rohde (another pupil of Klingenberg), and copied the fascicles which can be traced to his hand during these times. Since Klingenberg had claimed to be a pupil of Buxtehude, theoretically we could be dealing with manuscripts extremely close to the autographs of Buxtehude, only a "third or fourth generation" copy in fact[1].
The different pieces by Buxtehude that were copied by Lindemann have different amounts of errors in them, which suggests that these fascicles were copied exactly from their sources (without a critical eye) and were based on a variety of different sources (some with more or fewer errors)[2].
