One of three supplementary envelopes that are kept withGB-Cpc MS 314, the other two being named 'A' and 'B'. Whereas envelopes A and B contain only monophonic chant (and are not listed on DIAMM), envelope C contains the fragments of three folios, in very poor condition.

The three folios are portions of a partbook, copied in England. All three fragments, together with what is now MS 314, were discovered in the binding of Cpc MS C 47.

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.
