A Tenor partbook from a set originally of four volumes. Copied by a single scribe. Copied in Rome. Probably compiled for Giulio de' Medici (1478-1534; Pope Clement VII after 1523). Acquired, perhaps c. 1553-63, by Ulrich Fugger (1526-84), of Augsburg (possibly through Ulrich's book collector, Henricus Scrimger); later incorporated in Palatine electoral library in Heidelberg. See VatP 1347 for subsequent history of electoral library.

XVIe s. 2 vol. T.: III-87ff., B.: III-95ff. Papier, 220 x 150 mm. Foliotation moderne. Les ff. I à IIv, IIIv, 52v à 62v, 75v à 87 sont blancs. Notation mesurée blanche. 4 portées par p. Au f. III, Tabula. Au f. 1, armes des Médicis (6 palle). Parties de Tenor et de Bassus seul'.
Ce nouveau «Manuscrit Medicis» qui porte au f. 1 des 2 vol. les armes de cette famille couronnées d'un chapeau de cardinal, appartint très vraisemblablement à Giulio de' Medici avant son accession à la papauté (1523 sous le nom de Clement VII). La similitude avec le Codex Medici (I-F1666) a fait penser que Rvat 1980-81 en serait une copie qu'on pourrait dater entre 1518 et 1523. Bien que la chanson française ait subi une sérieuse éclipse dans les mss. romains après la mort de Léon X, le ms. en contient tout de même 4 (nos 17, 18, 19, 20) de Josquin, La Rue et Richafort; mais d'une qualité contrapunctique qui peut rivaliser avec les messes et motets qui constituent la majorité du recueil.
