General Description

A Bassus Decani partbook from a set originally of eight volumes. Copied for the choir of Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford. Items 1-68 represent the original layer, copied by Zacharie Irishe in c. 1643-4. In three sections: (a) services (items 1-28); (b) verse anthems (29-53); and (c) full anthems (54-68). Items 101-127 are anthems copied by Edward Lowe probably in the 1660s (item 121 is attributed to 'Mr Christopher Gibbons', and was therefore presumably copied before 1664, the year in which Gibbons was awarded his Oxford D. Mus). Lowe also emended item 7, replacing pages that had originally been copied by Irishe and were now damaged. Items 201-294 were copied by other scribes during the Aldrich era (i.e. from the late 17th century to c. 1710). Items 301-348 were copied from c. 1710 onwards. See Milsom for full details.

Foliation

two adjacent bifolios of smaller paper (330 x 200 mm), paginated '1-7' in 18th-century ink;

three unfoliated leaves, used for indexes of services

principal textblock, originally 166 leaves, paginated by Irishe. The following gaps occur in the pagination sequence: pp. 167-8 and 273-6; the first of these gaps arises from the loss of a leaf, the second apparently from the excision of two leaves before copying took place. Followed by two unfoliated leaves, used for indexes of anthems, and a sheet pasted to the rear flyleaf. See Milsom for full details.

John Milsom, 2010
Decoration

No initials or decoration.

John Milsom, 2010
Index

Original index on front and back flyleaves of each book, with corrections and additions by several later hands; front index lists Services, back index lists full anthems and verse anthems.
