General Description

11 fascicles, each with 4 bifolios. owned by the Medici in the 15th century (see coat of arms on f. 1r). In the 17th century it belonged to Carlo Tommaso Strozzi. Purchased by the British Museum in 1876. von Fischer placed it in Perugia (Umbria) or southern Tuscany; Reaney was unwilling to rule out Florence as a possible origin. The presence of the two estampies No. 79 (Isabella) and No. 86 (Principio di Virtu) among other things suggests a relationship with the Visconti family, who ruled in Perugia from 1400-1402 . The London MS is one of the most important sources of Italian Trecento music, despite its careless notation and many faulty readings.

RISM Description

RISM B/IV 4: 14./15. Jh.; 88 Blätter Pergament + 6 Vorsatz- und 2 Nachstoßblätter, 260 x 195mm. Tintenfoliierung des 17. od. 18. Jh. von f. 1-84 (ab f. 84 fehlerhaft); moderne Bleistiftfoliierung (1876) von f. 1-87 (beginnt auf dem 1. Vorsatzblatt, daher ist zur älteren Foliierung stets plus 1 hinzuzuzählen. Je Seite 8 rote Fünfliniensysteme mit schwarzer Mensuralnotation (vereinzelt hohle weiße Noten; rote Noten nur auf f. 82v/ 83). - Einband: mit modernem, braunem Leder (1957) überzogene, ältere Holzdeckel.

Diese aus 11 Faszikeln zu je 4 Bogen bestehende Handschrift befand sich im 15. Jh. in Mediceer-Besitz (vergleiche Wappen auf f. 1r). Im 17. Jh. gehörte sie Carlo Tommaso Strozzi, der auf einem der älteren Vorsatzblätter eine Liste der in der Handschrift vorkommenden Komponistennamen anlegte. 1876 wurde der Codex vom Brit. Museum angekauft. Datierung und Herkunft der Handschrift sind umstritten. Während Pirrotta um 1425 datiert, verlegen v. Fischer und Reaney die Handschrift ins früheste 15. Jh. (Nr. 115-117 sind wohl etwas später, Nr. 118 wesentlich später beigefügt.) Als Herkunftsort nimmt v. Fischer Perugia (Umbrien) oder Süd-Toscana an; Reaney möchte auch Florenz als möglichen Herkunftsort nicht ausschließen. Das Vorhandensein der beiden Istampiten Nr. 79 (Isabella) und Nr. 86 (Principio di Virtù) unter anderem Erwägungen lassen vermutlich eine Beziehung der Handschrift zur Familie der Visconti, die von 1400-1402 in Perugia herrschte, annehmen. - Die Londoner Handschrift gehört trotz ihrer unsorgfältigen Notation und der vielen fehlerhaften Lesarten zu den wichtigsten Quellen italienischer Trecentomusik. - Leer sind f. 52r, 83r und 86v-88r; f. 1r Mediceer-Wappen; f. 85v/86r Tonleitern und weitere Nachträge von wesentlich jüngerer Hand (vergleiche Nr. 118).

[Translation] 14th/15th century. 88 sheets of parchment + 6 front and 2 back flyleaves, 260 x 195mm. Ink foliation of the 17th or 18th Century of f. 1-84 (from f. 84 errors); modern pencil foliation (1876) of f. 1-87 (starts on the 1st front flyleaf, so for older foliaition always added plus 1). 8 red five-line systems per page with black mensural notation (isolated void white notes; red coloration only on f. 82v / 83). - Binding: a modern, brown leather (1957) covering, older wooden boards.

This manuscript of 11 fascicles, each with 4 bifolios, was owned by the Medici in the 15th century (see coat of arms on f. 1r). In the 17th century it belonged to Carlo Tommaso Strozzi, who on one of the old front flyleaves attached a list of the composer names to be found in the manuscript. The manuscript was purchased by the British Museum in 1876. Dating and origin of the manuscript are controversial. While Pirrotta dated it to 1425, von Fischer and Reaney moved it into the early 15th century (No. 115-117 is probably a little later, No. 118 added substantially later.) As to origin, von Fischer placed it in Perugia (Umbria) or southern Tuscany; Reaney was unwilling to rule out Florence as a possible origin. The presence of the two estampies No. 79 (Isabella) and No. 86 (Principio di Virtu) among other things suggests a relationship with the Visconti family, who ruled in Perugia from 1400-1402 . The manuscript comes from London, despite its sloppy notation and the many erroneous interpretations of its origins due to it being one of the main sources of Italian Trecento music. ff. 52r, 83r and 86v-88r are empty; f. 1r Medici coat of arms; f. 85v/86r scales and other additions in a much later hand (cf. No. 118).
