A 16th-century calendar-psalter-hymnal written and notated by the presbyter Giovanni da Quinzano in 1542. Rusconi notes that the manuscript was likely commissioned by the Dominican nuns of the convent of Santa Caterina in Brescia for the convent of Conche near Nave (Brescia). Towards the end of the manuscript is a collection of monophonic Benedicamus Domino melodies (pp. 325–326), two-voice settings of the Benedicamus Domino tropes Verbum patris hodie (pp. 326–328) and Qui nos fecit ex nihilo (pp. 328–329), and on pp. 329–330 appear polyphonic voice parts that are related to a Benedicamus Domino chant melody in AAB form (Barclay no. 69), albeit transmitted in a somewhat confused format. Three polyphonic voice parts, all unlabelled, are distributed across the two pages. Crucially, however, I-BGrt 62 does not include the Benedicamus Domino chant tenor itself, but one of the (non-chant-based) voice parts, copied on the second system of p. 330, corresponds to the typical polyphonic voice that pairs with the tenor (also found in I-BGc MA 418 and D-B Ham. 554). Only two of the voices can be combined to form a complete polyphonic setting of the Benedicamus Domino chant melody (Barclay no. 69): the voice copied on the top system of p. 329 (between the end of the first voice of Qui nos fecit and the second voice of the same trope) and the voice on the top system of p. 330. Taken together, these two parts contain the pitches of the complete Benedicamus chant melody (also found in I-BGc MA 418). This is split between them for the two A sections of the chant, while the voice on p. 329 concludes with the B section.
