General Description

One scribe copied the music for the main part of the manuscript; the Mass (ff. 51'-62) is a later addition, in a mid-16th century Italian hand (JepFR). Copied in Naples (Rifkin, Allan Atlas), but illuminated at Florence (ReidB). Probably intended as a gift for Margherita Castellani and Bernardino Niccolini upon the occasion of their marriage. The manuscript remained in the Niccolini family library in Florence until the late 18th century, when it was acquired by William Beckford of England. Upon Beckford's death in 1844, the manuscript went to the library of his son-in-law, Alexander Douglas, Duke of Hamilton, where it bore the numbers 'HB 223' and '451.' When the Hamilton library was sold at auction in 1882, the manuscript was acquired by the Prussian government, and deposited in the Kupferstichkabinett. It was temporarily transferred to Celle during World War II. Contrary to Besseler's statement in MGG (III, 900), the manuscript survived the war undamaged (ReidB). Close repertorial connections with EscSL IV.a.24 (AtlCM).
