A Tenor partbook from a set originally of four volumes. Copied by a single scribe. Copied in Florence (BrowC); not of Florentine origin, conceivably written in France (Rifkin, based on format, gathering structure, and script). The partbooks were probably the gift of the Florentine Rinuccini to Filippo Strozzi, nephew by marriage to Pope Leo X (BrowC).

RISM Description
RISM B/IV: XVIe s. 3 vol. de 96ff. chacun: Cantus, Altus, Tenor, mq. le Bassus. Papier, 200 x 140 mm. Foliotation moderne au bas des ff. Le Cantus comporte aussi une pagination et une numérotation des pièces en ch. romains, toutes les deux modernes. Notation mesurée blanche. 4 portées par p. Initiales ornées avec quelques figures. Reliures anciennes cuir estampé, de style florentin.
Ms. provenant aussi du don Basevi (1885). On y relève une seule écriture et il a été conçu comme un tout, suivant un plan établi à l'avance, les chansons y étant rangées par compositeurs dont les noms ne figurent qu'au Cantus. Parmi ceux-ci, Ninot le Petit l'emporte avec 13 chansons, suivi par Josquin et Bruhier avec chacun 6. Les gardes des reliures, tirées d'une édition de 1500 du Morgante, permettent de penser que le ms. n'a pu être écrit avant ca. 1530. D'autre part, comme on trouve aux p. de garde du Tenor, d'une écriture du XVIe s.: «Ex liberalitate Bernardi Renuccini», ce qui, associé aux 4 croissants dorés qui ornent les coins des reliures et qui apparaissent aussi dans le blason des Strozzi, évoque deux des plus puissantes familles florentines du début du XVIe s., on a pu supposer que le ms. avait été offert par Bernardo di Jacopo Rinuccini à Filippo Strozzi dont l'importance politique (chef de la rebellion contre les Médicis en 1527) et les nombreux séjours en France justifieraient le don de Rinuccini et expliqueraient le choix d'un répertoire exclusif de chansons françaises dans un ms. copié en Italie. Il est possible que le recueil ait été donné à Filippo Strozzi en l'année 1527, pour célébrer sa triomphale entrée à Florence ou, plus vraisemblablement, pour le distraire dans la solitude de la retraite à laquelle il fut contraint un peu plus tard la même année. (Brown)
