25 Magnificats

Appenzeller [Benedictus]-11, Appenzeller/Pathie?*-1, Clemens non Papa-8, (Divitis/Richafort)-1, Jacotin-1, (La Rue)-1, Mouton/ (Willaert)-1, anon-1

*Magnificat on ff. 122'127 attributed to "Benedictus" by original scribe; later hand crossed out "Benedictus" and added "Rogerus" below. Latter attribution refers to Philippe Rogier (KirschQM); more likely a reference to Rogier Pathie, a contemporary of Benedictus Appenzeller, who likewise served at court of Mary of Hungary (Call).
