General Description

62 [63] pieces by 6 known composers. Copied by two scribes: scribe A copied pieces #26-28, 30-39, and 41-55; scribe B copied pieces #1-25, 29, 40, and 56-62, which form a slightly later repertory than the pieces copied by scribe A. Scribe A copied pieces in alphabetical order by title, from A through O; scribe B copied pieces in random order. The manuscript is arranged so that the book must be turned sideways to be read; the Discantus is on the verso of each opening, the Tenor and Contratenor on the recto, all written lengthwise on the opening. Originated at the Burgundian court of Philip the Good at Dijon/Bruges (McgaryE).

f. 5v Il m'est si grief: noted here and on Can.Misc.213 that the 2 settings have completely different Contratenors.

Corrected title of the Binchois song on f. 26r to "Adieu mes tresbelles amours"; and marked "Adieu ma tresbelle maistresse" (ff. 26v-27) as 'probably' by Binchois, as no ascription survives & the case for attribution (while strong) is modern. It was made by Walter Kemp in his 1972 dissertation (revised and published as a book in 1990) and supported and strengthened by Dennis Slavin in his 1987 dissertation.
