The original layer of the manuscript consists of organ intabulations of 14th-century vocal works; CaraE is a facsimile edition of this part of the manuscript, and these pieces are transcribed in PlamKM. The 22 15th-century pieces were added later, on pages that had originally been left blank; several treatises were copied on blank pages at the same time. The original layer of keyboard intabulations was copied in northern Italy; the second layer (the 22 pieces listed above) was copied by Johannes Bonadies at the Carmelite monastery of San Paolo in Ferrara. These pieces may represent a Lucca repertory of 1467-73. The manuscript was later taken to Faenza, probably in the first decades of the 20th century.

RISM Description
RISM B/IV 4: 15. Jh.; 95 Blätter Pergament + 1 Pergament-Ergänzungsblatt (f. 12) + je ein Pergament-Vorsatz- und -Nachstoßblatt, 245 x 175 mm. 3 verschiedene Foliierung und Pag. (alle 19./20. Jh.): richtige und seit 1959 gültige Bleistiftfoliierung zuunterst rechts auf dem Rectoblätter von f. 1-98 (Vorsatz-, Ergänzungs- und Nachstoßblätter inklusive); unmittelbar über dieser Foliierung an verschiedenen Stellen eine Bleistiftfoliierung von gleicher Hand (von der jüngsten teilweise um minus 1, teilweise stärker abweichend); Pag. des 19. Jh. (oben links und rechts) von p. 2-164, die jedoch erst mit moderne f. 5 beginnt; Reste der originale Foliierung von f. 1-5 (= moderne f. 88-92). Je Seite 8 rote Sechsliniensysteme mit schwarzer und schwarz/roter Mensuralnotation des ausgehenden 14. Jh.; in den jüngeren Teilen weiße Mensuralnotation - Einband: 20. Jh.; schwarzes Leder mit Goldpressung; die Handschrift wurde 1958/59 neu eingebunden (siehe unten).
Diese aus 10 Faszikeln bestehende Handschrift stammt aus dem Karmeliterkloster S. Paolo in Ferrara und gelangte im 20. Jh., vermutlich zwischen 1914 und 1918, nach Ferrara. Sie war schon Padre Martini (vergleiche Teilabschrift in Bologna) und W. Ambros bekannt, und trug früher den irreführenden Namen Codex Bonadies. Von Bonadies stammen nur die um 1473/74 auf schon im frühen 15. Jh. vorlinierten Blättern vorgenommenen Eintragungen von Kompositionen und musiktheoretischen Traktaten. Die Handschrift selbst ist ca. 60 Jahre älter und enthält eine in ihrer vollen Bedeutung erst durch D. Plamenac erkannte Sammlung von Intavolierungen italienischer und französischer Werke des 14. und frühesten 15. Jh. in italienischer Orgeltabulaturnotation (Partiturnotation auf 2 Sechsliniensystemen). Zudem stellt sie das bisher wohl früheste bekannte Zeugnis für die Orgelmesse dar. Mit Plamenac, dem wir auch die richtige Anordnung der vor 1959 teilweise falsch gebundenen Blätter verdanken, ist oberitalienische Herkunft und Entstehung der Handschrift um 1410/20 anzunehmen.
Inhalt: f. 2r-5r, 36r-58r, 68r-83v, 88r-97v: Intavolierungen (ältester Teil der Handschrift). -f. 5v-35v, 59v-67v, 84r-87v: von Bonadies eingetragene Kompositionen (siehe Incipitverzeichnis) und Traktate von de Muris, Ph. de Caserta (?), Ciconia, J. de Regio, Hothby, N. Weyts, Pr. Bartholomeus. - Leer sind: f. 1r/v (Vorsatzblatt), 12r/v (Ergänzungsblatt für verlorenes BL), 27r, 32v, 33r/v, 58v, 59r, 61v, 98v (Nachstoßblatt, dessen Vorderseite elementartheoretische Musikeintragungen des 15./16. Jh. enthält).
INCIPITVERZEICHNIS
Die im Incipitverzeichnis verwendeten Foliozahlen entsprechen der jüngsten, 1959 von D. Plamenac eingetragenen Foliierung. - Der in einzelnen Stücken Auftakte bezeichnende Halbbogen ist durch eine punktierte Linie wiedergegeben.

i + 96 + i parchment folios, 248 x 175. The original f. 12, which had been lost, was replaced by a modern folio in 1959. Modern pencil foliation, 1-98, added in 1959 under the direction of Dragan Plamenac after the fascicles had been reordered; various other systems of foliation and pagination from the 19th and 20th centuries, all incomplete or in incorrect order. New covers of dark brown leather with gold tooling, dating from 1958. No index. The original layer of the manuscript consists of organ intabulations of 14th-century vocal works in Italian Trecento notation; CaraE is a facsimile edition of this part of the manuscript, and these pieces are transcribed in PlamKM. The 22 15th-century pieces were added later, in white mensural notation, on pages that had originally been left blank; several treatises were copied on blank pages at the same time. The inscription "Bonadies regulae cantus" is found on the cover.
The original layer of keyboard intabulations was copied in northern Italy ca. 1410-20; the second layer (the 22 pieces listed above) was copied by Johannes Bonadies at the Carmelite monastery of San Paolo in Ferrara in 1473-4; these pieces may represent a Lucca repertory of 1467-73. Padre Martini borrowed the manuscript from Ferrara; BolC A32 is his copy of the later polyphonic works and the treatises in FaenBC 117. The manuscript was later taken to Faenza, probably in the first decades of the 20th century.
