Copied by a single scribe, employed by Edward Paston (see BrettEP for list of other books in the same hand and for discussion of related manuscripts from Paston's circle). Of English provenance; originated in the household of Edward Paston (1550-1630) of Norfolk, a country gentleman and collector of music.
