RISM Description

Bifolio used as binding. Original folio size c.300 x 245 mm. Part of large ms; the original foliation is 242 and 2??. 10 black 5-line staves per page. There is apparently some other music cited in RISM Vol. 5 p. 323 in 'fasc. 2' but it is not clear which pages that is on.

RISM B/IV 4: 15. Jh.; 2 Blätter Pergament, 287 x 245 mm (beschnitten). Originale Foliierung f. 233 und 2?? (nach Besseler f. 242). Je Seite 10 schwarze Fünfliniensysteme mit schwarzer und schwarz/hohler Mensuralnotation.

Das Doppelblätter diente als Verstärkung des äußeren Deckels eines Register- oder Aktenbandes (der äußere Einband ist noch erhalten: Pergament-Decke mit Lederbändern). Das unten beschnittene und schlecht erhaltene, zum Teil perforierte Fragment (ursprüliches Format ca. 300 x 245 mm) stammt vermutlich aus einer größeren Handschrift des frühen 15. Jh., hat aber zu den Paduaner-Fragmenten keine direkte Beziehung.

RISM B/IV 5:

XVIe s. 5 fasc, séparés de 7 pp. chacun (5* vx. 6 p.). Papier, 320 x 215 mm. Pagination moderne en ch. romains et numérotation moderne des fase, en haut des p. de chacun des vol.: 1/I-VII; 2/I-VII; 3/I-VII; 4/I-VII; 5/II-VI. Notation mesurée blanche. 10 portées par p.

Si le filigrane du papier (pot surmonté d'un trèfle) qui se retrouve sur des documents à partir de 1530 jusque vers 1572, ne permet pas de dater le ms., 1e style de la messe en imitation systématique, le situerait au plus tôt aux environs de 1540. Le nom de l'auteur (?) qui figure en tête de la 5e vx., de lecture douteuse (Bouksens? Boukbens?) suggérerait un compositeur franco-flamand.
