Liminary Note

On f. 1 is a note dated 1728: "Dit zangboek heeft in oude tijden gedient in het Choor van Onze Lieve Vrouwe in Sint Janskerke te 's-Hertogenbosch, en met andere diergelijke en verschijde beelden na 't overgaan der stad in 't Jaar 1629 verbragt na de vergader Camer der Lieve Vrouwe broeders in de hintemerstraat, alwaar deselve meer dan hondert jaaren gebleeven zijnde, hebben de Lieve Vrouwe broeders de beelden verkogt, en de boeken onder zig verdeelt, en is dit exemplaar te deelen gevallen aan mr. Ian van Heurn, Proost der voorsijde broederschap, na wiens overlijden hetzelve aan zijn zoon Frans van Heurn heeft toebehoort."

(In summary: this hymnal was used by the Choir of Onze Lieve Vrouwe in Sint Janskerke in 's-Hertogenbosch; hidden after the Reformation; and then distributed with other books among those still in the Brotherhood. This copy passed to Jan van Heurn, Provost of the brotherhood, and on his death to his son Frans van Heurn.)
