fragment of contratenor identified from Domine Deus section of Gloria: perhaps the 2vv are from a lost Agnus Dei?

"Prof. Peter Urquhart has identified the final fragment at the end of 'HerAB 72A (f. 151v) as an excerpt from a Noel Bauldeweyn mass, M. Du bon du cueur. Although the identification has a secure footing in one voice of the three that are presented in the manuscript, the placement of the excerpt within the mass remains a puzzle, for the other voices are not found in the mass as it exists in other sources. He proposed that it may have been drawn from the Agnus dei I & II sections no longer extant elsewhere, and offered a five-voice reconstruction of the counterpoint. The identification is discussed in his article (see bibliography); the middle section is devoted to the Bauldeweyn mass based on Mouton's chanson, pp. 45-52, and the fragment revealed from p. 47 on. Contributions towards this identification by Veronique Roelvink, Zoe Saunders, and Bernadette Nelson are also discussed in the article."
