General Description

Copied by Netherlands court scribe Petrus Alamire (KellJ). WarmMC distinguishes two music and three text scripts: E (music on ff. 2'-8, 10-19, 37'-50, 53'-59' (tenor), 61' (tenor), 64' (tenor), 68'-78); X (music and text on ff. 2'-8, 9', 20-35, 36-37, 51-65, 66'-78); D (some text on ff. 2'-7', 9', 53'-59', 61', 64'); and C5, to whom she later re-attributed some of the text copying (KellmanTO). Copied in Brussels/Mechlin; belongs to Netherlands court complex (KellJ). Sent as gift to Pope Leo X (1475-1521).

DIAMM, 2017
Physical Description

Most masses incomplete, lacking the opening of the first Kyrie (at least) - whole pages have been removed, rather than just initials cut out. Only the last (Missa de feria) is complete.

DIAMM, 2019
Binding

Covers of medium brown leather over boards, blind tooled with decorative borders and central diamond motif; brass clasps, studs, and bosses. Covers date from 18th century (LlorCS), but decoration imitates earlier style (see VatS 13 for other manuscripts with similar bindings)

Notation

Date

RISM Description

RISM

XVIe. s. 79ff. Parchemin, 600 x 405 mm. Foliotation moderne. Les ff. lr-v, 2, 8v, 9, 19v, 35v, 50v, 65v, 66, 78v, 79r-v sont blancs. Notation mesurée blanche. 6-11 portées par p. Capitales enluminées en coul. dont certaines ont été coupées, mutilant gravement le ms. Reliure XVIIIe s. cuir, fermoirs et bouillons de métal.

Le style flamand des enluminures semble prouver que le ms. aurait été copié à Malines (probablement par Alamire) à la cour de Marguerite d'Autriche et offert ensuite au pape Léon X.
