About Jan z Lublina
Johannes de Lublin (also Jan z Lublina, Joannis de Lublin) was a Polish organist and composer active in the first half of the 16th century, remembered above all as the compiler (and likely primary scribe/owner) of the monumental organ tablature traditionally known as the Tablature of Jan of Lublin. He was a member of the Canons Regular of the Lateran and is plausibly connected with the convent at Kraśnik near Lublin; modern reference summaries stress that little else about his personal life can be documented securely. Between 1537 and 1548 he (with other hands also involved) assembled a vast pedagogical and repertorial manuscript whose cover inscription identifies it as the Tabulatura Ioannis de Lyublyn Canonic[orum] Reglariu[m] de Crasnyk and notes binding in 1540. The compilation is widely described as among the largest surviving keyboard collections of 16th-century Europe, combining original keyboard pieces, intabulations of polyphonic vocal works circulating across Europe, and didactic/theoretical materials on matters such as composition and organ practice. The manuscript is preserved today in Kraków in the Polish Academy of Sciences (PAN) Library, under the shelfmark Ms. 1716.
