General Description

One scribe copied the pieces from the beginning through f. 28, a second scribe from f. 28' to the end. Twenty-two concordances with FlorBN Panc. 27. The manuscript also contains one monophonic Passion. Probably copied in a Benedictine monastery in northern Italy (Florence, Ferrara, Mantua, or somewhere in Emilia); CattNFI asserts that it must have been "compiled in one of the monasteries linked with the Congregation of St. Justina of Montecassino". The manuscript was sold by Guglielmo Libri to a dealer in England in 1859, and acquired by Sir George Grey, governor of Cape Colony, in 1860. Grey donated it to the library in Cape Town on 21 October 1861.

"Salve o beata" (85v) now linked to its concordance, "Dove dove", in Escorial IV.a.24 (f.17v) - and the latter's title corrected.

Clemens Goldberg

Wednesday, 6 March, 2024

Note added to 'Non nobis' (f. 106v) to explain that the contrafactum has a completely different Contratenor from the parallel sources and significant variants. It might be considered a new compostion based on the model.

One missing item added; some concordances corrected and a few added

10v-13r, Benedictus dominus, is not concordant with Paris Vm7 676 (f. 9v-10)

Adam Gilbert

Monday, 30 October, 2023

Tentative attribution to Isaac of "Regnum meum" on f.114v-115: Cattin notes that opening of imitation and phrase of Regnum meum is almost identical to that of Isaac's "A la battaglia"; Adam Knight Gilbert (dissertation) argues that Regnun meum is the work of Isaac, and shares much in common with the Benedictus of Isaac's "Missa Chargé de deuil".
