General Description

Four fragments (now numbered A, B, C, D) from a vocal partbook. More leaves from the same partbook are found in Lam MS 935 (which include music for treble/cantus/soprano but also for tenor). Nothing seems to be known of other partbooks that would have belonged to the supposed original set.
