RISM Description

RISM B/IV 4: 15. Jh.; 4 Blätter Pergament, 470 x 275 mm; Blatt 3 (p. 5/6) nur zur Hälfte erhalten. Moderne Pag. von p. 1-8. Je Seite 12 rote Fünfliniensysteme (p. 5/6: 6 Syst.) mit schwarzer und schwarz-roter Mensuralnotation des 15. Jh.

Diese 4 Blätter, die Mehrstimmiges enthalten, wurden mit weiteren 5 Blätter sowie Blatt-Fragmenten (zum Teil mit Resten mehrstimmig gesetzter Carols) im Einband der Inkunabel Pembr. Coll. C 47 aufgefunden. Sie haben offenbar einer größeren Handschrift des frühen 15. Jh. (1420/30) angehört und vermitteln eine der frühesten Überlieferungen Dunstabelscher Werke.

INCIPITVERZEICHNIS

Im Anschluß an die 8 mehrstimmige Stücke des vierblättrigen Fragmentes folgen als Nrn. (9), (10) u. (11) drei Carols, die sich auf Blattresten befinden.

2 Glorias, 3 Credos, 3 motets, 3 English sacred pieces = 11 (some are fragments)

Dunstable-3, Wyvell-1, anon-7

4 parchment folios; ff. 1, 2, and 4 are ca. 405 x 270, f. 3 is ca. 214 x 283 (half of the leaf is missing). New pencil pagination, 1-8. New blue cardboard covers. Black notation on red staves, with red coloration. Red and blue initials; some lines of text in red. Fragments in supplementary envelopes (designated " A", "B", and "C") are also included with this manuscript. Envelopes A and B contain only monophonic chant. Envelope C contains three fragmentary folios, originally ca. 170 x 110, in very poor condition. These are apparently portions of a partbook in white mensural notation.
