DIAMM Note

NB The CANT numbers (1-5) were allocated by Sandon in his 1976 ‘Fragments’ article. They do not correspond to a reference in the form ‘Add. Ms. 128/(CANT no.)’.

128/2 = not clear whether this was ever anything different

128/5 = CANT 2 (cannot currently be traced) – the current 128/5 is different from CANT contents

128/6 = CANT 3

128/7 = CANT 5 (reported as stolen in 1977) – current 128/7 has no music

128/8 - incorporates the former 128/71 = CANT 1

128/13 – now has no music (seems to have become 128/66)

128/62 = CANT 6

128/65 = CANT 4

128/66 – may be the one formerly 128/13

128/70 – no olim

128/71 – now incorporated into 128/8

CANT 1 = 128/8

CANT 2 = 128/5 (not the current 128/5 though)

CANT 3 = 128/6

CANT 4 = 128/65

CANT 5 = 128/7

CANT 6 = 128/62
