A Bassus partbook from a set of six volumes, originally separate but now bound together to form a composite manuscript. Copied by one main scribe, with a few slightly later additions by four other scribes. Probably copied in Turin, for use by court chapel of Carlo Emanuele I (1562-1630), Duke of Savoy.
ii + 186 + i (composite)
Upper right and lower right corners of last 36 folios now missing, apparently due to fire damage.
Covers of dark brown leather over cardboard probably date from 18th century; spine gold tooled with inscription 'ANONI MUSICA.'
Watermark generally resembles Briquet #3266
Staff height 11
Original ink foliation in each book mostly obliterated by later trimming; modern stamped foliation, 1-186, on upper right rectos. New ff. 1-36' = original B book; ff. 37-70' = D; ff. 71-98' = Q; ff. 99-116' = S; ff. 117-150' = T; ff. 151-186' = A.
