RISM Description
RISM BIV/5
XVe s. 26ff. Parchemin, 219X150 mm. Foliotation ancienne en haut des ff. Les ff. 1 à 3, 23v à 26 sont blancs. Notation mesurée noire et rouge. 6 portées par p. Au f. 26v, 2 lignes de musique copiées postérieurement en notation blanche. Au f. 2v, armoiries en coul. portant les 6 palle des Médicis. Rehure ancienne (XVIe s.) maroquin rouge, fers dorés.
Ms. certainement copié en Italie, car, malgré la nette préférence accordée au répertoire français (15 chansons françaises pour 4 italiennes), les fautes de texte révèlent un scribe italien. Le f. lv porte: «Questo libro de Musicha fu donato a Piero de Archangelo de li Bonaventuri da Urbino dal Magro Piero di Chosimo de Medici di Fiorenza.» Les ms. a donc appartenu a Piero de' Medici (1416-1469), père de Lorenzo et ami de Dufay, ce qui explique peut-être qu'on y trouve deux unica de ce compositeur (nos 8 et 11). Cependant, c'est Binchois qui l'emporte avec 12 chansons dont deux unica (nos 10 et 18).
