A Discantus partbook from a set originally of four volumes. Copied by a single scribe, except for last piece, added by different hand. Copied in Rome. Compiled for Giulio de' Medici (1478-1534; Pope Clement VII after 1523) or for other member of Medici family. 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.

18 Masses, 1 motet, 1 French secular piece = 20
Brumel-2, Brumel/(Isaac)-1, Compère/(Josquin)-1, A. Févin-2, M. Forestier-1, Gascongne-1, Jam petit-2,* Josquin-1, La Rue-2, La Rue [Pierson de 1a rue]/(Josquin)-1, Mouton-2, Mouton/(A. Févin)-1, Prioris-2, Turleron [Illayre]-1
*Mass IX, ff. 83'-92, attributed to "M. Jam petit"; Mass XVIII, ff. 174-183, attributed to "Petit Jam." Based on dating of this source (see below), this composer is clearly too early to be identified with Jehan de Lattre or Claude Petit Jehan, and probably too late to be identified with Jehan Charvet (called "Petit Jan" in NHavY 91). Identification with Ninot le Petit rejected by Barton Hudson, editor of NinotW. Jhan of Ferrara is not referred to as "Petit," and most of his works postdate repertory of VatP 1982.
