General Description

A partbook designated 'Tenor' from a set originally of four volumes (Bassus book lost after 1609). Two main scribes copied most of the sacred music; six or seven additional scribes copied remainder of sacred pieces. Secular pieces are later additions, many added using blank pages at end of book, with books upside down. (Images of these pages inverted for legibility.) Some textless pieces in score format. Sacred pieces have English texts, but corresponding titles are in Latin.

Probably copied at Arundel, Sussex, for use in chapel of Henry Fitzalan, 12th Earl of Arundel (d. 1580) (BlezCS). Probably not copied for Fitzalan, but acquired by him in 1553 as part of confiscated collection of Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury (BernsCE). Later passed to Fitzalan's son-in-law, John, 6th Baron Lumley (d. 1609). Arundel-Lumley collection later incorporated in Old Royal Library, which passed to newly founded British Museum in 1757.
