General Description

A Discantus partbook from a set of three volumes. Each Mass assigned to one day of week; polyphonic portions include Ordinary sections, Alleluias, and Sequences. These partbooks contain the only complete weekly cycle of English Lady Masses known. Possibly copied by Nicholas Ludford at St. Stephen's, Westminster. Perhaps a gift from the composer Nicholas Ludford to Henry VIII, King of England, and his wife, Catherine of Aragon. Eventually incorporated into the Old Royal Library, which passed to newly founded British Museum in 1757.
