General Description

Two choirbooks which were originally one.

Ms. 1166 was copied by two scribes, who copied Fol. 1-15r and 15v-18v respectively. From Valencia or Catalonia: held at the Colegiata de Gandía (Valencia) until 1941. Lost until recently.

Ms. 1967 (190 folios) was copied chiefly by the first scribe of Ms. 1166, with additions made by a later scribe.

For a reconstruction of the manuscript, see Maricarmen Gómez Muntané, Bartomeu Càrceres. Opera Omnia (Barcelona: Biblioteca de Catalunya, 1995), pp. 62-74 & NelsonCDF; inventory in DIAMM follows MS order as currently bound.
