A Discantus partbook from a set originally of five volumes. Copied by a single scribe, identified by Rifkin & Fallows as Bernard Rem, who also wrote VienNB Mus. 18745, VienNB Mus. 18810, and ZürZ 438. Perhaps written for Hieronymus Welser; a coat of arms with his name and the year 1527 (in A, T, and B partbooks) was discovered after a restoration in 1974. It seems that Welser sold the partbooks even before binding, probably to Glarean (Meconi 2009). Full texts for many pieces copied separately on rectos of Tenor book after each piece; otherwise, pieces have text incipits or titles only. Repertorial connections (39 concordances) with VienNB 18810. Presumably copied in Munich (BenteNW); probably copied in Augsburg (Rifkin & Fallows).
