Whoever hid the maniscripts into the tower knew what they were doing, right? Saxons are very practical minded people. Their fortified church towers have a room for storing bacon, so if they had to take refuge in the fortified church, they also had a supply of food on hand to survive. Romanians by contrast would take refuge in the forest and rebuild everything after it was destroyed by the invaders. That's why some of their homes, barns and stables are improvised to a certain degree, because the mindset that they're going to be destroyed anyway is still present in the collective unconscious.
This discovery is very exciting. The manuscripts pictured in the article look like music partitures.
