General Description

A Discantus partbook from a set of three volumes, containing a mass, motets and madrigals all in 3vv, numbered sequentially in sections (motets I-XVI, madrigals I-XXVIII) by the main scribe, who was identified, probably incorrectly, by Van Borren as Antonio Moro (Fenlon/Haar). Three motets and five madrigals were later added by the scribe of Florence MS Magl. XIX.125bis (Rifkin); and a third scribe added a simple litany after the mass.
