Composite of several originally separate fascicles copied at different times. Copied by one main scribe (identified by Jas, but not CCM, as de Blauwe), with later additions by several scribes, including Johannes Flamingus; same scribal hands also appear in LeidGA 1442 and LeidGA 1443. The discrepancy in foliation is the result of the replacement of six original folios with seven new folios containing works by Johannes Flamingus. This left the motet by Jordan incomplete, and eliminated the motet by Vinders which is listed in the original index as following the Jordan piece. Main corpus perhaps copied in Brussels (though Jas argues for Leiden); later used by St. Peter's Church in Leiden, where additions were made. Subsequent history same as for LeidGA 1438.

v + iv + 207 + v paper folios, 560 x 390. Composite of several originally separate fascicles copied at different times by several scribes. Original ink foliation: lst-51st folios numbered i-li; 52nd-58th folios unnumbered; 59th-166th folios numbered lviii-clxv; 167th folio unnumbered; 168th-206th folios numbered i-xxxix; 207th folio unnumbered. Discrepancy in numbering following f. li caused by replacement of six original folios with seven new folios containing works by Johannes Flamingus. This left motet by Jordan incomplete, and eliminated motet by Vinders (listed in original index as following the Jordan piece). Restored and rebound in 1964 in new covers of brown leather on oak boards, tooled with classical busts; brass corners and clasps. Original index on third original flyleaf lists all pieces except later additions, in order of appear-ance, with attributions. Copied by one main scribe, with later additions by several scribes, including Johannes Flamingus; same scribal hands also appear in LeidGA 1442 and LeidGA 1443. Staff height 21 in main corpus. Large inked calligraphic initials from beginning to f. xxx'. No watermarks visible.
Mid 16th century, with additions ca. 1564-7. Main corpus perhaps copied in Brussels; later used by St. Peter's Church in Leiden, where additions were made. Subsequent history same as for LeidGA 1438.
Vol 4
