General Description

A Bassus partbook from a set of six volumes, including polyphony-bearing flyleaves cut from older, unrelated music manuscript. The original owner and scribe was John Merro. Main corpus copied by John Merro, who also wrote most of LonBL 17792-6; music on flyleaves copied by two or three scribes. Main corpus probably copied in western England, perhaps at Gloucester; flyleaves also of English origin, but specific provenance unknown.

Flyleaves from 1 or 2 Discantus partbook(s); leaves from the same book(s) are used as flyleaves in Drexel 4184. These and other related fragments are brought together in a 'virtual manuscript' here.

Owned in 19th century by the antiquarian Edward F. Rimbault; purchased by the Philadelphia banker and philanthropist Joseph W. Drexel (1833-88) at a Sotheby's sale of Rimbault's library in 1877. Drexel collection bequeathed in 1888 to Lenox Library, incorporated since 1895 in New York Public Library.
