General Description

Copied by three main scribes and three additional scribes; four of the scribal hands also appear in Part I of Paris F-Pn 4379. Probably copied in Naples, but a Roman origin is also possible (AtlCG). Forty-two folios were removed from the present manuscript in 1884, and taken to Paris where they were acquired by the Bibliothèque nationale in 1885 and are now Part I of F-Pn 4379. This MS and Part I of F-Pn 4379 once formed a single manuscript, which was purchased in Rome in 1515 by Fernando Colón (1488-1539), son of the navigator. The manuscript was listed as #2526 in one of the surviving catalogues ('Registrum B') of Colón's books. Colón bequeathed his library (the so-called 'Fernandina' or 'Colombina') to his nephew Luis; the collection passed to the chapter of Seville Cathedral in 1552. A virtual reconstruction of this complete manuscript is here.

Foliation

Roman numeral foliation. Original ink foliation on lower right rectos uses letters to designate gatherings, Arabic numbers to designate folios within gatherings. Foliation extended from 'a1' through 'r8' in original manuscript of 188 folios. Original folios now in Part I of ParisBNN 4379 include e2-e11, f4-f12, g1, h2-h11, n2-n12, and o1; original ff. a10, b6-b10, f3, and g2 lost; remaining folios form present manuscript. Modern foliation by Higinio Anglès, 1-138. Original ink numbering of pieces, 1-164, on upper right rectos (several inconsistencies; numbers sometimes mistakenly construed as foliation)

DIAMM, 2017
Decoration

Inked calligraphic initials coloured with light yellow wash; some initials decorated with faces.

DIAMM, 2017
Index

Incomplete alphabetical index on new ff. 1-2, followed by short musical treatise on ff. 2'-5'
