General Description

Recently recovered from the binding of MS 2° 576 in this library. The latter manuscript is described by GottA as a 'Bruderschafts-buch' from Mindelheim (in the vicinity of Augsburg), begun in 1610. Copied by several scribes. Probably of southern German provenance. The folios now constituting AugsS Mus. 25 may originally have been parts of several different manuscripts.

DIAMM, 2017
Physical Description

The folios have been trimmed at the top, resulting in the loss of many composer attributions. Many pieces are incomplete or have missing parts.
