General Description

Early 16th century book of organ pieces by anonymous authors. Written on double staves of 6 or 7 lines each, apparently in England. Also contains the plainsong of some settings of the ‘Magnificat‘ in each of the 8 ecclesiastical tones, each of them ending with a pneuma (or coda) in its proper tone (ff. 22v-28v); and the plainsong of a 'Te Deum,' beginning 'Te eternum patrem'; apparently written in England (f.30v).
