These six volumes (Cod. 87-92) were bought in 1891 by the Austrian Ministerium für Cultus und Unterricht, and were deposited in the Hofbibliothek (now the Nationalbibliothek) at Vienna. In 1920, under the terms of the Treaty of St. Germain, they were returned to Trent. The seventh codex (Codex tridentius 93) was found in the archives of the Duomo at Trent in 1920)

Wikipedia description:
The Trent Codices are a collection of seven large music manuscripts compiled around the middle of the 15th century, currently kept in the northern Italian city of Trent. They contain mostly sacred vocal music composed between 1400 and 1475. Containing more than 1,500 separate musical compositions by 88 different named composers, as well as a huge amount of anonymous music (including the famous Missa Caput), they are the largest and most significant single manuscript source from the entire century from anywhere in Europe.
