A Tenor partbook from a set originally of four volumes. The text-block appears to have been preceded by 2 flyleaves at the front (of which leaf i is partially torn out), and followed by 4 flyleaves at the rear (of which leaf ii is a torn stub, inscribed 'Edward Yonge his book'). Copied by three scribes. Some of the unused pages (ff. 16r-29v) were subsequently used by Richard Goodson Jr to notate organ scores. Items nos. 6-9 were copied from the rear, with the volume inverted. Presumably part of the Goodson bequest.

Contemporary binding of dark brown leather over boards, blind-tooled with fillets and ornaments on the covers, and fillets on the spine; the tools used to decorate this binding have not been observed in other bindings within the music collections at Christ Church

black void mensural

New pencil foliation, 1-40, omits front flyleaves but includes first back flyleaf; incomplete original ink pagination (ff. 1r-8r) of '1-17' by the original copyists.
