RISM Description

RISM B/IV 5: XVIe s. 28ff. Papier, 575x435 mm. Foliotation ancienne en haut à dr. des ff. Le f. 12v est blanc; les ff. 13 à 38, 44 à 48, 50 à 61, 69 mq. Notation mesurée blanche. 13 portées par p. Au f.l, Table du ms. de la main de Spataro. Reliure originale de carton vert.

Ce ms., très vraisemblablement écrit par Giovanni Spataro, semble bien correspondre à l'un des 5 mss, que, par son testament de 1527, il avait légué à S. Petronio «per l'uxo dei choro de la predicta eclesia et dei divino officio». On peut donc le dater autour de 1520, date que ne contredit pas le répertoire avec les 4 compositeurs qui ont pu être identifiés. 28 seul' des 73ff. d'origine sont conservés. D'après la Table, les pièces suivantes mq.:

f. 13v-22 Missa De mes pensés

f. 22v-27 Missa De psalite deo

f. 27v-29 Emendemus in melius a 5

f. 29v-36 Missa De Sarge de doglia

f. 52v-61 Missa sine nomine

f. 69v Sancti Dei omnes
