Summary

'Treble' part (i) of a set of 7 part-books containing 56 instrumental suites by John Hingeston made by a copyist working under his supervision. Numbering (each suite from 1-20, each movement from 21-84) appears to be mainly his own. Modern numbers are used for reference.

Hingeston wrote this inscription inside the front cover of MS. Mus. Sch. d. 205: "Thes[e] Bookes & workes of mine I freely give to ye Musique Schoole at Oxon: to w[hi]ch I was ye more incouraged; from what I have heard & seen of ye Care, dilligence and industry, of ye present Proffessor of that faculty in ye University, my Honored frind and fellow servant Mr Edward Lowe."
