Transcribed title page from superius part book.

With table of contents.

All five part works except for the last three, which are for six voices.

Copy at A.103.b. There are manuscript annotations, including accidentals and ‘barlines’, on several motets in all part books: ‘Sancte Martine confessor’, ‘Quem vidistis pastores’, ‘Vidit Iacob’ and ‘Domine quis habitabit’. The names of these pieces are also marked with crosses in the index of the superius part book. The tenor part book also has some of the text crossed out in ‘Sancte Martine confessor’ and ‘Quem vidistis pastores’; the motet ‘Vidit Iacob’ has a number written in the margin of each stave in every part book. This appears to be the numbers of semibreves in each line, and these are totalled at the bottom of the page; some missing page numbers have been added by hand in the superius part book; Sig.D4 in the Quinta and Sexta pars part book has a small, irregularly cut (and illegible) fragment of music and text pasted onto the blank staves.
