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
