D-W Cod. Guelf. 8 Noviss. 2^o (also stylized Noviss. 2/o) is a manuscript held in the Herzog August Bibliothek, Wolfenbüttel. It contains autograph manuscripts^{[Citation needed]} by Hieronymus Praetorius, Jacob Praetorius and Heinrich Scheidemann.

Description

Astonishingly, this manuscript had been catalogued by the library as early as 1927, but it was not more widely known until the end of the 20th century, when information about it was published in the 1988 Schütz-Jahrbuch.^[1]

Notation

The manuscript is written in New German Tablature Notation, except for Psalm 117 by Daniel Selich, which is written on one staff with bass clef with figured bass.

One piece, the setting of O Pieru lin is written in a slightly modified way, so that notes of different rhythmic values are beamed together.

The chorale fantasias by Hieronymus Praetorius are written in such a way that the voice which is ostensibly played on the Rückpositiv is written on the top, even when it is at a lower pitch than the Organum voices (even though it would likely be played in the left hand).
