General Description

Main scribe copied ff. l'-26; motet without text on ff. 31'-32 (= Prioris' 'Dulcis amica dei') is slightly later addition by a different hand. Copied in France; probably compiled for Louis d'Orléans prior to his becoming King Louis XII in 1498 (coat of arms on f. 1' is that of Louis as Duke of Orléans). The compiler and scribe might have been Jehan de Crespieres, one of Louis' court musicians (see LitteMR for further discussion).
