Title

Set of four part-books containing Latin Motets. Quinta et Sexta Pars bound together

Shelfmark

MS. Tenbury 342

Summary

One of four surviving part-books in a set (MSS. Tenbury 341-344). The Bassus book is missing from the set and the Quinta and Sexta Parts are bound together; here, when two folio numbers are shown in the list, one relates to the Quinta pars and the other to the Sexta pars; when more than two folios are shown, the numbers refer to other voice parts (not present in the appropriate part-books). The first four motets included in MSS. Tenbury 342-344 belong to a separate collection and are not present in the Superius part-book. The original pagination of all the four books begins with motet 'Emendemus' and ends with 'Decantabat'. Further motets are in MS. Tenbury 342 alone. Copied by a single scribe employed by Edward Paston of Norfolk.

Custodial history

The books, in the original binding, are stamped with the name of Edward Paston and belonged in 1864 to the Hon. Frederick Lygon, 6th Earl Beauchamp, from whom they passed at that date to Sir Frederick Ouseley. In 1921 they were repaired at the British Museum and new backs supplied although the original covers were retained.
