A collection of pieces in organ tablature or score (most using mensural notation), said to be by John Bull and sometimes considered autograph. More recently most of the attributions have been doubted, and many of the canons have been found elsewhere (British Library R.M.24.c.14) attributed to Elway Bevin.
Probably copied by Gulielmus à Messaus. Once formed part of the bedroom library of the Emperor Leopold I.
222 folios
Original leather covers, decorated with floral motifs, stars and a crucifixion with IHS in a central roundel.
First half of the 17th century (the first piece is dated 1621).
