A Tenor partbook from a set originally of four volumes. Copied by a single scribe. Presumably of south German or Swiss origin. Formerly bound together with the prints RISM 1535/10 and 1535/11 (exemplar of latter was second edition of 1536, not catalogued separately in RISM). Composite volume once owned by Landesbibliothek in Bern; given to present library in 1915. At Zürich, manuscript and printed sections were separated, rebound, and assigned different call numbers; printed portions now 'Mus. 908'; manuscript portion now 'Q, 906.'
