Wyman & Sons. LojfDON, November, 1886. PREFACE. THE Historical Music Loan Exhibition of 1885 may fairly be characterised as a great opportunity lost. A wonderful treat to the few, it might and it ought to have been a source of instruction to the many. The relegation of the Collection to the Gallery of the Albert Hall was, perhaps, unavoidable, but pains should at least have been taken to make its importance known to the public. Any committee gathering together a collection of this sort is morally bound to issue a proper catalogue on the day of opening, or very shortly after. On this occasion weeks and weeks rolled by ; at last, after numerous complaints had appeared in the newspapers, a " Guide to the Loan Collection " was issued, drawn up, apparently, by a clerk, from the slips attached to the objects exhibited, but so carelessly that I do not remember ever to have seen a worse. It is diflficult to understand the reason of this ; but one thing is certain, that collectors will be chary of lending their treasures if those who ask for their loan do not show a better appreciation of their value. There is always a risk in transporting valuable works of art, and the only justification for incurring such risk is the impulse thereby given to research and the advance of knowledge. Towards the close of the Exhibition Mr. Quaritch, justly in- dignant at the neglect of the committee, offered to publish a Catalogue of the Liturgical Manuscripts and Printed Books — which formed by no means the least interesting portion of the very important collections there brought together — if I would undertake to draw one up. Hence this volume, which will, I trust, be found a useful record of this section of the Exhibition. The larger portion is devoted to a careful description of the most vi Preface. important liturgical manuscripts and of all the printed liturgical books exhibited. The latter have been described on a uniform plan. The designation of the book at the head of each notice is followed by the indication of the locality where it was printed, the names of the printer and of the publisher, or persons at whose cost it was produced, and the date of its completion. These are, as a rule, taken from the colophon ; when, however, the colophon does not supply all these data, they have been derived from the com- mencement of the text, from the preface of the Ordinary, and, in books of later date, from the title. The notice of each book, generally based on the collation of several copies, is followed by a description of the copy or copies exhibited, and a chronological list of the works in which the book is noticed, those which merely repeat previous descriptions being placed within brackets. The two last sections of the Catalogue contain the treatises on music, manuscript and printed, and such of the collections of sacred and secular music as I was able to take notes of before the dispersal of the Collection. I must claim especial indulgence for this portion of my work, which is quite out of the usual range of my studies, and which I should not have attempted had I not been urged to do so by several friends. For the notices of the choral service-books belonging to divers colleges at Cambridge and to Durham Cathedral (Part V., Nos. i, 2, 3, and 6-1 1), which will probably be found the most valuable of those included in the last section, I am indebted to the kindness of Mr. Owen Dullea. My best thanks are also due to Mr. John W. Bradley, for notes on the miniatures and illuminated ornaments of the Italian manuscripts. I have finally to apologise to subscribers for the delay in issuing this volume, the greater portion of which was printed in the earlier part of the spring. Constant and varied occupation have hindered its earlier completion. W. H. JAMES WEALE. Dijon : September 14, 1886. ILLUSTRATIONS. Reduced facsimile of the first page of the Psalter of 1457.

Graduale seu Antiphonarium^ secundum usum eccle- siae Romanae. ix century. Vellum. H.2 74m. B. 125 m. Library of Saint Gall, n° 359. This precious manuscript is traditionally said to have been copied by a cleric named Romanus, from the autograph of S. Gregory the Great, at Rome, between 772 and 795, and to have been brought by him to the abbey of Saint Gall. The volume in its present state consists of 81 ff., but the primitive portion com- mences f. 12 v. and ends f. 79 v. The text is well written in long lines of which there are 16 to the page, covering a space 185 millimetres high by 95 broad ; it commences : Domini | ca PRIMA DE I ADUENTU DNI | STATIO AD SCM | ANDREAM. | POST PRESEPE I AnTIPHONA | AD INTROITVM. This Gradual is strictly Roman ; Saint Martin being the only non-Roman saint whose festival it contains. There are no offices for Virgins who were not also Martyrs, nor for any other Con- fessors than the following: SS. Sylvester, Gregory the Great, Cesarius and Martin, and there is no Alleluia for these last. It is also noteworthy that there are two Masses for the feast of Saint John the Evangelist, and none for the vigils of the Epiphany and the Ascension. The Sunday within the octave of the Epiphany is styled Dominica II post Nativitatem Domini, and the 24th Sunday after Pentecost, Dominica V ante Natale Domini. Looking at the book from a liturgical point of view, it may very well date from the ninth century ; judged by the writing and notation of the greater portion, it would appear to belong to the later rather than ' Prior to the eleventh century all books of chant were called Antiphonaria, as con- taining alternative chants. ^k" B Liturgical Manuscripts to the earlier portion of that century, yet the Pange lingua (f.So V. -52) has an older look than the rest of the book, as if the pen had been here taken up by some survivor of the preceding generation. The additions at the beginning and end are of various date, from the xi to the xiii century. The manuscript is enclosed between two oak boards, each about 19 millimetres thick, hollowed out to receive the book. The back is formed by a piece of leather nailed to the boards. One board is covered with a thin plaque of copper-gilt, bordered by four flat bands of bone, and divided into two by a fifth horizontal band. Each half is subdivided into four triangular compartments by two bands of bone in saltire. These bands are pierced with a series of quadrilobed rectangles showing the metal underneath. Similar bands of perforated bone, each pierced with two rows of openings, are fixed along the three edges of both covers and on the border of the other side. Inside this border are two plaques of ivory not later than the fifth century, and possibly even earlier. The two plaques, sunk in a slight hollow, join each other closely, and together cover the entire surface within the border. They are carved in rather high relief, and each is divided into two compartments. The uppermost scene represents two men, one of whom is nude and has his left foot on the back of a large dog with a long tail. The other, facing him, is clothed in a long dress with sleeves, girded at the waist but reaching to his ankles. He holds a bow — now in great part broken away — in his left hand, and carries a quiver at his left shoulder. Behind the first man, on the extreme right, is seen the top of a conventional tree. In the compartment beneath this there are also two figures: a man, armed with a short sword and a circular shield, who appears to be hurrying away; and a woman, carrying a spear and seemingly pursuing him, with her right hand placed on the top of his shield. Both are clothed ; the drapery of the woman flutters behind her as she advances, and allows her left leg to be seen bare above the knee. In the third compartment a woman armed with a spear is attacking a man who defends himself with another spear and a small oblong shield. The woman's drapery is gathered in round her waist ; the man is clothed in a long tunic and a mantle which floats out behind him in the wind. In the lowest compartment are four figures, all clothed, two of whom are urging on the other two, evidently captives, as their arms are tied behind their backs. One of the captives is bending down. There is no record of the date at which the manuscript was placed within its present cover ; the With Musical Notgition. 3 ivory plaques doubtless originally formed part of the decorations of a coffer. The portions most in relief have suffered from friction and lost their roundness. I confess myself unable, with the slight knowledge I have of pagan Roman art and myths, to recognise the subjects they represent. Reproductions of these plaques have been just added to the important series in the South Kensington Museum. P. L. Lambillotte, Antiphonaire de Saint-Gr^goire. Facsimile du Manuscrit de Saint-Gall.

The Bodleian Library, Oxford, Misc. Lit. 340. This Manuscript consists of 153 fF., with 18 long lines to the full page, with Teutonic neums over the text ; these have in some places been erased, and replaced by notation on a four-line staff. The initial letters of the Introits for the principal festivals are formed by branches of foliage outlined in red on a blue and green ground, the body of the letter being coloured yellow ; the initial S of the Introit for Whitsunday has a rude representation of the Descent of the Holy Ghost. The following entries in the Kalendar lead me to think that the volume was probably written for some church in the northern part of the province of Aquileia: March 16. Hellari et Taciani. May 31.

The Text on f. 1 is surrounded by a border composed of a burnished gold band outlined with black, along the middle of which runs a narrow band of dark blue; this, on the outer side of the page, is interrupted at regular intervals by rosettes pink and green alternately with golden centres, and terminated above and below by a bouquet of foliage with fruited centre. Well-drawn pen-work stems and tendrils, knotted with black, spring from the band above and below each rosette, and terminate in scarlet, blue, pink and green cinquefoils ; the intervening ground is occupied by black-fringed studs of gold. On the inner side of the page, the band is accom- panied by a series of profile pink and blue flowers alternating with golden studs. At the foot of the page the border is interrupted by two angels supporting a garland of foliage and fruit bound with scarlet cords, and having within it a shield the armorial bearings of which have been carefully effaced. The border at the top of the page has instead of rosettes large double roses. The initial letter O (H. 76 m.

The colours, somewhat deficient in brightness, have an earthy quality. The initial letter (H.63 m. B. 67 m.) of the Introit : Ad te levavi, contains a half-length figure of King David seen in profile, his hands joined and raised in prayer. The ornamental versals are : E, T, R, V, C, D, S, G and E, all of pleasing character and delicate execution. The prominence given to yellow ochre, as a principal in the D on f. 190, is peculiar.

It consisted of 194 ff., the first leaf of the second part having on its outer margin in small Arabic numerals 195 as a guide to the illuminator, who has sketched over it in pencil CLXxxxv ; the second and following leaves are, however, numbered as above stated, II to ccxxii. 14 Liturgical Manuscripts the Cassinese type, occupy a space 445 m. high by 315 m. broad, being a little more than half the surface of the page. The quires consist of 8 ff., excepting the twenty-fifth, which has only seven; all have a catchword at the foot of the last page. The versal letters are, as a rule, on rectangular panels or plaques of raised burnished gold. The interior of the letter is occupied either by a miniature with a landscape background, or by sprays of foliage on a coloured ground. If the ground is black, it is relieved by pale yellow floriated ornaments. Garlands or bouquets of foliage with flowers and fruit spring from the letters and spread over the margin from the top to the bottom of the page. These are generally accompanied by pen line floriations with studs of burnished gold. Fine examples occur on fif. XIII v., XXVIII, Lxv and lxix ; sometimes the foliage on the margins is drawn in profile, e.g., on ff. xl, liii v , lxv, etc. The miniatures, in the Sienese manner, are based on models of earlier date; taken by themselves, the figures of some of the Saints, e.g., S. Agatha (f. xix), SS. Andrew and John (f.xcii), might pass for works of the fourteenth century. The hills and rocks are also drawn and coloured in the conventional manner that then prevailed. The figures are full length, and the saints and angels have plain circular nimbi of burnished gold; exceptions to the rule are noticed in the following description. The technical method is that of tempera or gouache as distinguished from the pale washed colours of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries on the one hand, and the stippled aquarelle of the sixteenth on the other. To avoid repetitions, it is well to note here that crimson letters are relieved by delicate white floriations ; and that in both letters and figure draperies green is heightened with yellow, scarlet with gold, and blue with silver or white. The volume begins abruptly with the Introit : Dilexisti iustitiam et odisti iniquitatem. I. The versal D is a magnificent letter (H.rSs m. B. 190 m.) made up of five horns of plenty of a fine pale crimson, or rich pink, heightened with white, with green foliage and fruit forming a band across the centre of either limb where the mouths of the larger horns face each other; flower-sprays, springing out of the smaller horn which terminates the letter above, connect it with the foliage and flowers on the dexter inner margin. The interior of the letter is occupied by a miniature representing SS. Agnes, Lucy, and Katherine, each with her appropriate emblem, the last alone wearing a crown.

Horns of plenty with bouquets adorn the margin. The painting is of its kind most masterly. 3. (f.xix.) In Sande Agathe. Ad Missam. Introitus. Gaudea- mus omnes. The G(H. 167 m.

Here the fruits placed on the letter are oranges and apples, laid alternately as a central band on each of its three limbs. 4. (f. XXVIII V.) In festo beati patris nostri Benedidi abbatis. In- troitus. Vir Dei Benedictus. The body of the versal(H. 225 m. B. 215 m.)is here composed of five horns of plenty, of a dark slate-purple, heightened with gold, placed mouth to mouth, with Veronese green foliage and yellow and scarlet fruits at the mouth of the inverted horns; these form a sort of canopy over the groups of angels represented as chubby winged boys, perfectly nude, standing on the top and base of the column rising from the mouth of each of the upturned horns.

It was discovered by the well- known bibliographer, John George Schelhorn, in 1765, in the choir of the Premonstratensian Abbey of Roth, near Memmingen, and was purchased in 1798, for the Althorp library, for the sum of 3000 florins. Earl Spencer, Althorp. H.384 m. B. 244 m. Vellum. F. 125 wants the outer margin and part of the text. The versal letters have been in part cut away by the binder from 58 if. There is also a defect in the first leaf; the inserted priece of vellum extends over four lines : 15 to 18. This copy consists of 143 (114 and 29) ff., printed in red and black from movable cut, not cast, metal type of two sizes; of the larger type there are 20 (Comp., 293 m.), and of the smaller 24 (Comp., 287 m.) long lines to the full page. To this there are but two exceptions : f. 3 v., which has 2 1 lines of the larger type, and £28, which has 3 lines of the larger and 21 of the smaller type, together equivalent to 25 lines of the latter. The leaves, it is almost needless to say, have neither catchwords, nor signatures, nor foliation, nor running title. The quires have 10 ff., excepting the eleventh, which has 8, the twelfth which has 6, and the last (fifteenth) which has 9 ff"., the seventh being single. Blank spaces occur frequently : these were left not only for the musical notation, but also for the insertion of 28 Liturgical Books antiphons, &c., and in six places (ff. 28, 29 twice, 29 v., 34 v. and 136 V.) for versal letters of 2 lines of the smaller type. The more important versal letters, those of 2 or more lines of the larger type, are printed. Of these there are 200 in all, neither more nor less, produced from 24 metal blocks, the work of at least two, more probably of three, craftsmen. These letters were printed, subsequently to the typography, in one of two colours, red or greyish blue,i not by a pull of the press, but by the blow of a mallet on the superimposed block. Finally, the body of the letter was coloured by the stenciller, — ^red, if the printed floriations were blue ; blue, if these were red. We subjoin here a complete list of the printed versal letters. The Roman capitals represent those coloured blue with red floria- tions \ the Italic capitals, those coloured red with blue floriations. 1 B, occupying a space (H. 91 m.) equivalent to 6 lines of the larger type ; with the floriations in the margin (333 m.) f. \? 2 C, a 4-line letter (H.62 m.); with its floriations (208 m.) f.98.

As to the 2-line T, I am doubtful. The 4-line C is very good, but is unUke all the others, being designed on a different principle. The 4-line E, a clever design well carried out, is the work of a third hand, but wants the spirit and elegance of the letters by the designer of the B. Most of the versals in this copy have been touched up by hand with a more brilliant red and a bright ultramarine blue ; this has been detrimental to the delicate ornamentation in the body of the five larger letters, the superposed colour having spread on to the reserved vellum ground ; in two cases (ff. 49 and 98) it has covered it entirely. The illuminator omitted to retouch the 2-line E on f. 38 v., which remains as when the volume left the publishers' office, of a dull grey blue. The 2-line D on f 95 v. was also printed with red floriations ; the stenciller, when about to colour the body of the letter, took up the wrong brush ; perceiving his mistake, he stayed his hand; the vertical limb remains dull blue, the curved part red, and the floriations dull red.i These two instances clearly prove what was done at the publishers' offices and what subsequently to the sale of the volume. As no correct account of the printed contents of this Psalter has yet been published,^ I have drawn up the following table, the rigorous accuracy of which may be relied on. I have printed the words at full length, but have taken care to keep to the exact spelling of the text. ' In the Windsor copy the blue versals have not been retouched, and offer a striking contrast to the bright light ultramarine capitals of the manuscript additions. ^ A VON DER LiNDE (Quellenforschungen, 20-30) is the only writer who has as yet attempted to give such an account ; but his essay, apparently written from notes, and not revised in presence of the Psalter, abounds with mistakes. Moreover, he has, like all previous writers, entirely failed to recognise the true character of Fust and Schoffer's work. He calls this Psalter the Editio princeps of the Mentz Breviary. It is, however, nothing of the sort. A Breviary consists, leaving aside the Kalendar and preliminary matter, of four parts : I, the Proper of the Season ; 2, the Psalter ; 3, the Proper, and, 4, the Common of Saints. This book contains only one of these four parts — the second, and this is not according to the use of Mentz. Indeed, it would never have answered commercially to print a choir Psalter of this importance according to the use of any one diocese (excepting perhaps Sarum and Utrecht), for it must be remembered that the religious orders had their own uses, and did not follow that of the diocese. The possible sale of a Psalter, according to the use of Mentz, would have been restricted to the cathedral and parochial churches of the diocese ; these at that time would have had, each according to its importance, one or more manuscript noted Psalters which they would only replace when deteriorated by long use.

They printed the Psalms, Canticles and Hymns in general use, and left blank spaces in which the purchasers could insert by hand, together with the musical notation, the antiphons, etc., proper to the use which they followed. Thus the blanks in one copy would contain the antiphons according to the use of Mentz, another those according to the use of Worms, a third those of Speyer, Trier, Strassburg or some other church. Most likely some hundred copies of this Psalter were printed. The present copy was, no doubt, sold by Fust and Schoffer to the Premonstratensian Canons, as it contains the Antiphons, Versicles, etc., according to the use of that order. ' The first Antiphon : Servite Domino in timore, being in general use in the churches which followed this arrangement of the Psalms, is printed. " These are the two first words of the second Antiphon according to the use of Mentz and a few other churches. They have been erased in the present copy, and the first word of that used by the Premonstratensians written in their place. ' The vowels of the last words of the Gloria Patri — sscalorxim a.men; — the notes placed above them form the ending of the chant to which the following Psalm had to be sung. The first note of the evovae^the prevailing or reciting note of the chant — and the final note of the antiphon give the tone of the chant. This word, or rather this compages of letters, has, of course, no connexion whatever with the Bacchic shout of lo or Evoe. I should not allude here to this silly story were it not that on several occasions I have heard it repeated by persons who noticed the presence of the evovae in one or other of the books exhibited, and who evidently believed in its truth. 32 Liturgical Books Folio. line.

Two other pages (ff. i v. and 8 v.) are alike in Without Musical Notation. 45 tlie Althorp and British Museum copies, and thirty in the British Museum and Windsor copies. The text of f.4 v. is alike in all three copies, as is also that of flf. 5 v. and 6 in the British Museum and Windsor copies, but the red-letter portion differs. In the 39 pages there are in the Althorp copy 137 errors, which may be classed thus : 1. Omissions of the : used to mark the pause in the middle of each verse ... ... ... ... ... ... 28 2. Insertions of the : in the wrong place 57 3. Errors due to negligence 30 4. Errors of the text which occur in contemporary Psalters, e.g., in the Mentz Breviary printed by the Brothers of Common Life in 1474, distinguished in the above table by having an asterisk (*) prefixed to them 22 137 Twenty-five of these errors were corrected before these pages of the British Museum copy were printed, leaving 21-I- 47 4-224-22 = 112 errors ; and four more before those of the Windsor copy were struck off, leaving 20-1-46-1-20-^22 = 108 errors. But in recom- posing some of the pages, fresh mistakes were introduced, so that, in these pages, the British Museum copy has 24-1-49-1-26-1-22 = 121 errors, and the Windsor copy 24-1-49-^28-1-22 = 123 errors. Most of the pages in the volume have been entirely re-composed once, and many twice. All, however, commence with the same and always with an entire word in all three copies, and all the pages end with the same word, with the exception of f.3 v., which in the Althorp copy, instead of being terminated by ab, has ab inimids, the latter word being the first on f. 4 in all three copies. It should be further noticed that the lines in the British Museum and Windsor copies are more equal in length than in the Althorp copy ; this has been effected by varying the abbreviations and by the frequent suppression of the full stop at the end of each verse. I shall not attempt to give a list of the books in which this Psalter is noticed. It may be as well, however, to say that the earliest mention of it is in John Andrew MuUer's notice of the Library of the Gymnasium at Freiburg (I, 129 and 130) published in 1653 ; the next, that in Lambecius's Commentaria de augustissima Bibliotheca Caesarea Vindobomnsi (II, viii, 989) published at Vienna, 1665-79. From that time down to the present it is noticed in almost every work on the History of Printing. SCHELHORN, Atltnerk. DiBDIN, I, IO7-II7.

These were executed expressly for this work at the expense of the General of the Order, and the number of blocks employed is far larger than usual in Italian Missals, although, as many of the cuts occur only once, the volume at first sight does not appear to be so richly illustrated as some of the later Missals in which the same cuts are repeated forty or fifty times. The most remarkable of the illustrations are the borders that enclose the text of the eleven pages on which the Masses of the principal festivals commence. This framework of an architectural character is in the style of the Florentine Renaissance; 78 Liturgical Books it consists of i, a base; 2 and 3, two columns, adorned with groups of figures, 4 and 5, and supporting 6, a rounded arch, the tympanum of which is occupied by a figure of the Eternal seated on the clouds. His left hand resting on a cross-surmounted globe, His right raised in benediction ; on each side, an adoring angel. The triangular spaces above the arch, and the bases of the columns are adorned with figures of the Evangelists seated writing. These portions of the framework do not vary. Of the figures which decorate the sides there are five varieties : i. The Annunciation (ff. I and ccxxix v.), the Angel kneeling on clouds in front of the dexter column, the B. Virgin praying on the opposite side ; 2, the Angel appearing to the shepherds (f. x) ; 3, the three Marys going to the Sepulchre, at, the side of which stand two angels (f. cxxi) ; 4, Christ calling Simon and Andrew who are busy with their nets in a boat (ff.cLxv and ccxxxix); and, 5, two groups of distinguished members of the order (ff. 14 v., cxvi v., cxxxv, cci and ccxii v.). The subjects which adorn the base also vary: 1". John Gualbert riding homewards with his man on Good Friday meets the murderer of his brother Hugo, and draws his sword to slay him ; the murderer on his knees is imploring pardon for the love of Him who died on the Cross on that day. On the left, John is seen kneeling before the altar in the Benedictine Church of S. Minias, begging God to grant him pardon for his sins; his sword and cap lie on the foot-pace. The figure of Christ on the Cross is bowing its head to him ; on a scroll above is the legend : CRVCIS AMORE PARCIT INIMICO lOANNES GVALBERTI PRO QVO CRVX siBi GRATES EGiT CAPiTE. These scenes occur on ff. i, cxvi v. and ccxxix V. 2''(f.x). John begs the Abbot of S. Minias to admit him into the order ; the abbot fearing the father's displeasure, puts him off, but allows him to remain as a guest. His father coming in search of him, John cuts off his hair, and takes a habit from the altar and puts it on. On the right, the father and the abbot in conversation ; on the left, John taking the habit from the altar, near which stand two monks. Between the two groups, a scroll bearing the legend : qvesitvs a patre habitvm svmpsit ab ara. 3°(f.cxxi). On the death of the abbot, the monks of S. Minias choose John as his successor, but he refuses to accept the ofi&ce, and, leaving the house with one companion goes to the hermitage of Camaldoli j there he forms the design of founding a community according to the primitive rule of S. Benedict. On the right, the Saint and his companion are kneeling at the feet of the Camaldo- lese hermits, whose superior encourages him to carry out his With Musical Notation. 79 undertaking ; on a scroll are his words : vade et in nomine trini- TATis TVVM INCIPE INSTITVTVM. On the left, the Saint and his companion are arriving at a hermitage in the shady valley of willow trees which was to give a name to the order ; two hermits who dwelt there are welcoming them. 4° (ff.cxxxv and ccxii v.). The new monastery of Vallombrosa ; the Saint is giving the habit to three postulants ; above, on a scroll : institvit monasterivm ET ORDINEM VALLIS VMBROSAE. S° (ff. I4 V., CLXV, CCI and ccxxxix). In this last are portrayed two of the distinguishing features of the Saint's character — his hatred of simony, and his love of the poor. On the right, he is reproving an abbot and a bishop ; on the left, causing his last loaf of bread to be given to a poor man. The accompanying scrolls bear the legends : abbatem ET EPISCOPVM SYMONIACOS PRAEDICAT. PANEM SIBI SOLVM PAVPERI TRADIT. The cuts next in importance are f.cxvi v. : a Calvary (H. 170 m. B. 127 m.) Christ on a tau-shaped Cross, with the B. Virgin, S. John and S. Mary Magdalene. F. i : S. John Gualbert holding a cross in his right hand, and standing on a prostrate demon, whose head he is transpiercing with the point of his tau-shaped abbatial staff. F. 14 v. : The arms of the order — a. shield, issuing from the sinister side a hand vested in the sleeve of a cowl, resting on a tau-shaped staff; in chief, a mitre. Besides these and the printer's well-known device, there are 18 storied versal letters (H. 1 14 m. B.96m.); 1 1 r storied versals (H. 46 m.

This curious volume is not only a remarkable specimen of typo- graphy, but is of considerable interest as affording an example of the encouragement given by high ecclesiastical dignitaries to those who, though within the Church, were doing as much as, if not more, to sap the foundations of the Christian religion, than even Huss or Luther. The office of S. Hierome, composed for the Abbey of Zwiefalten in 1509 by Henry Bebel of Justingen, Leonard Clement of Ulm, archpriest of Zwiefalten, and John Cassel of Gyslingen, was approved, indulgenced and promulgated by Uriel, archbishop of Mentz, nth May, 15 10. The office of S. Anne was entirely composed by Bebel ; the melodies and musical notation for both offices were written by Clement. The hymns that follow in honour of S. George, S. Barbara, S. Thomas the apostle, SS. Cosmas and Damian, are by Bebel, and those in honour of S. Clement and S. Beatus, by Clement. The dedicatory epistle to Leonard Diirr, abbot of Adelberg and visitor of the Premonstratensian order in Suabia, Bavaria, and Switzerland, is followed by a letter of Bebel's addressed to all archbishops, bishops, and prelates in Germany.

He bears the following testimony to the purity of the chant in the liturgy of the Preaching Friars : " Ni fallor Prsedicatorum ordo synceriorem reliquis quibusdam ordinibus habet cantum, loquor de eo, qui ad substantialia Missae pertinet, eum nos plserunque libro secundo secuti sumus, quanquam ne huic quidem ubique accedo."

Hercules Bottrigari, of Bologna, having made a copy of the manuscript of this wOrk at a time when Melone consulted him about it, had the effrontery to publish it as his own at Bologna in 1599, and has often been cited as its real author, e.g., by F(!tis, who says that Melone publicly claimed the authorship, and quarrelled with Bottrigari, but was soon after reconciled to him, and wrote him a letter which Bottrigari printed at the head of a treatise entitled Printed Books. 141 // Melone ; but this letter of Melone's is dated May 28, 1591, and // Desiderio was re-published at Milan in 1601 with Melone's name as author on the title-page.

In other respects the collection, which dates from the latter years of Henry VIII. or from the reign of Mary, is in very good condition, but it has been rebound during the last thirty years. It contains three Masses : "Taverner," "Mater Christi," and "Small Deuotion,'' a Magnificat, and nine Motetts, by Taverner ; four Masses: "O quam glorifica," "Tecum principium," " Albanus," and one without title, four Magnificats, and three Motetts, by Fayrfax; three Masses: "Vidi signum," " Inclina Domine," and " Regnum Mundi," and four Motetts by Nicholas Ludford ; a Mass " Veni Sancte Spiritus," and a Motett by Pygott ; a Mass "Te Deum," and four Motetts by Hugh Austen ; four Motetts by John Mason of Chichester ; a Stabat Mater and a Motett by Robert Hunt ; a Mass " Spes nostra," and a Magnificat by R.

Choir Book of the Abbey of St. Gall. 1562. Vellum. H. 540 m. B.390m. Library of St. Gall, n° 542. This volume of 400 ff. contains the Masses for the principal festivals including the Sequences, set to music composed by M. B. Lupus of Correggio, who, at the request of Abbot Diethelm, introduced four-part singing at St. Gall in 153 1. The volume, written by Brother Henry Keller of Rapperswijl, organist of the abbey in 1562, is adorned with a number of miniatures by Caspar Kartell of Lindau. The principal contents are as follow : Vespers of Holy Saturday, Mass of Easter Sunday with the two Sequences : Laudes Salvatori and Victimae Paschali ; Masses for the following feasts— Ascension, Pentecost, Trinity Sunday, Corpus Christi, Anniversary of the Dedication, Christmas, Epiphany, S. Gall, S. Othmar, S. Benedict, S. Notker, and the Assumption, followed by various settings of the Kyrie, Credo, &c. X 1 54 Music. The chief miniatures are : i (H. 137 m. B. 272 m.), Jonah being cast into the sea, and thrown up on shore by the fish. 2 (H.152 m. B. 272 m.), the Resurrection, with the three Maries coming to the Tomb. 3(H. 97 m. B. 272 m.), the journey to and the Supper at Emmaus : in the landscape background, Christ ap- pearing to S. Mary Magdalene. On the wall, behind the seated figure of Christ, is the date 1562, and, on the vaulting of the alcove, Caspar Harteli's cypher. 4 (H. 187 m. B. 245 m.), Elias taken up into heaven : in the foreground are Elias striking the waters of the Jordan with his folded mantle, and the bears devouring the children that mocked Elisha. The painter's cypher is here repeated on a rock. 5 (H. 195 m. B. 245 m.), the Ascension. 6 (H. 184 m. B. 258 m.), the children of Israel gathering the Manna. 7 (H. 184. m. B. 258 m.), the Last Supper. 8 (H. 290 m. B. 290 m.), scenes from the life of Saint Gall in a circular medallion within a square frame, the angles being occupied by shields with armorial beari ngs. On the border of the medallion is the legend : hec REQVIES MEA IN SECVLVM SECVLI : HIC HABITABO QVONIAM ELEGI EAM. PS. I3I. DNE IHV XPE NE DESPICIAS DESIDERIV MEV SED IN HON ORE SCTE GENITRICIS TVE ETC. I562. 9 (H. 298 m. B. 298 m.), another circular medallion set within a square frame; the subject of the miniature is the Translation of Saint Othmar, abbot of St. Gall, from the island of Stein to St. Gall. In a boat is seen the body of the saint, clothed in the monastic habit with a red cope and iriitre, with four tapers burning, two at the head and two at the feet ; four monks with open psalters keep watch around the body, which two boatmen are taking across a lake ; the oars- man, seated in the fore part of the boat, is carrying a small barrel on his right shoulder ; the other with a pole, stands at the stern. In addition to these miniatures, which are in the ordinary late German style, heavy and affected, there are at intervals, throughout the volume, a number of floral borders, consisting of running stems which throw off symmetrical scrolls of foliage and curls terminating in flowers of fanciful design, interspersed with birds, drolleries, shields of arms, figures of boys and girls playing on musical instruments, or of saints. The chief interest of these lies in the representations of musical instruments. 5. Collection of Motetts, &c. written by John Baldwin, 1581-1606. Paper. H. 287 m. B.201 m. Her Majesty tJie Qv£en. Manuscripts. 1 5 5 The transcriber of this volume was a lay-clerk of Windsor at the end of the sixteenth and the beginning of the seventeenth centuries. He was also one of the Gentlemen of the Chapel Royal, into which he was first received in March, 1593-4, without pay, " until a tenor's place be voyde." The full privileges did not accrue to him until August, 1598. He died on the 28th August, 1 615. The transcription of the volume was spread over many years. The dates are given when several of the compositions were copied, the earliest being 1581. To the latest, 1606, Baldwin has appended his signature and the words " Laudes Deo. Finis.'' At the beginning and end of the book are the following verses by him, which mention the chief musicians of his time ; as will be seen, his praise of Byrd is unbounded.

In the early part of the book the compositions are written in score, irregularly barred. With the exception of the first two works, the only words given in these scores are those of the titles, whilst, in a series of compositions by Luca Marenzio, not even the title is given. In the middle of the collection are a large number of lessons in Discant by Baldwin himself. Dr. Giles, and others. In the latter part of the book the music, generally for three voices, is written in parts with full words. The collection is specially Manuscripts. 157 rich in pre-Elizabethan Church music. There is a Mass for three voices by Byrd, and many other compositions by him. Such names as TalHs, Taverner, J. and W. Mundy, Shepherd, Parsons, Tye, and Elway Bevin recur frequently. There are also many motetts by less known composers, such as W. Damon, Golder, John Byrchley, Robert Johnson of Windsor, Moris Gore, Thomas Woodson, John Bedyngham, John Wood, John Thorne of York, John Dygon, Dr. Cooper, Moorecocke, and Wilkinson. By the last-named is a canon in thirteen parts set to the words of the Nicene Creed. The dux is assigned to Our Lord, and the other parts to the twelve Apostles. 6. Eleven Choir Books, xvii century. Paper. The Master and Fellows of S. Peter s College, Cambridge. There are two sets of these books. Set I. has only four volumes: — Medius and Bassus Cantoris, and Contra-Tenor and Bassus Decani. Set II. is more complete, and comprises seven volumes : — Medius, Tenor, and Bassus Cantoris, and Medius, Contra-Tenor, Tenor, and Bassus Decani. Both sets are written by different hands, and at various periods, ranging from imme- diately after the Reformation to just before the Great Rebellion. The paper used is of various sizes and qualities. The collection appears to have been made during the Mastership of Dr. Cosin (1634-44), who devoted great attention to the services of the College Chapel, which was built in 1633. Both sets have elaborate indexes, classified under several heads, such as " Full " and "Verse" Services, which are again subdivided into "Ad Matutinas," " Ad OflScium Altaris," and " Ad Vespertinas." The "Full" and "Verse" Anthems are also each subdivided into Anthems "Of praise," "Of prayer," and " Of penitence." Then there are headings for Litanies, Psalmi Festivales {i.e. Psalms set in canticle form), Antiphonse Festivales, " Ad Domine labia," " Ad Dominus vobiscum," &c. A notable feature is the number of Latin settings of Services and Litanies for collegiate use. A Latin Litany by Molle is stated to have been written " Pro Coll. Sti. Petri," and a Latin Te Deum and Jubilate by Dr. Child is "For the Right Worshipful Dr. Cosin." ' Further details as to this interesting collection are to be found in an article by Mr. R. C. Hope in the " Autiquarian Magazine," vol. iii. pp. 24-27, London, 1883. 158 Music. 7. Cantus Choir Book, xvii century. Paper. H. 220 m. B. 163 m. Lambeth Palace Library. This volume dates from the. early part of the xvii century. It contains a large collection of Services, Anthems, Responses, and of the elaborate settings of " Psalms " peculiar to the period between the Reformation and the Great Rebellion. The services are by T. Tomkins, Tallis, O. Gibbons, Mundy, Hooper, Strogers, Portman, Morley, Byrd, and Giles. Out of ten services for Matins, all but two have the Venite set in canticle form. Only one has a setting of the Jubilate in place of the Benedictus. That choral celebrations had not quite died out, is shown by two settings of the Sanctus and Gloria. There are 65 Anthems, arranged under the categories of "Verse" and " Full." They include several specially designated for Holy- days, such as Christmas, Innocents', Circumcision, Candlemas, Easter, Ascension, and S. John's, S. Stephen's, and S. Peter's Days. Forty-five are anonymous as regards composers, though in most cases it is easy to supply this information. The composers whose names are given are O. Gibbons, W. Cranford, T. and J. Tomkins, Giles, R. Portman, and T. Ford. 8. Organ Book, Durham cathedral. xvii century. Paper. H. 282 m. B. 173 m. The Dean and Chapter of Durham. A volume of Services and Anthems of the Anghcan Church, roughly compressed into score in six-hne staves for use at the organ. With one exception (an Anthem by Ferrabosco) they are all by English composers. Amongst the Services, there are settings, more or less complete, by Stevenson, Derrick, John Foster, Elway Bevin, Loosemore (includes Litany), Parsons of Exeter, Byrd, Farrant, and Mundy. The last-named is strongly represented by some half-dozen Services, one of which is in " 3 parts for men," and another in " 4 parts for men." There are nine settings of the Benedictus to three of the Jubilate, and the Venite occurs thrice. There is also a setting of the Sursum Corda, Sanctus, and Gloria in excelsis. Amongst the Anthems are works by Tallis ("Arise, O Lord," "O Thou God Almighty," "This is my commandment"), Cranford (" Hear my prayer," — " for a basse alone "), John Foster, Dr. Bull, T.

There are many works by Gibbons, Mundy, White, Giles, Byrd, Tomkins, &c. Amongst the less-known composers are Jefferies, Thomas Warrock, Henry Palmer, J. Geeres, Warde, Martin Persone, Fido, Richard Hutchinson. In a dilapidated condition, several leaves wanting and the corners of the leaves worn away. Binding : Brown calf, tooled. 10. Contratenor Cantoris Book, Durham cathedral, xvii century. Paper. H. 500 m. B. 300 m. The Dean and Chapter of Durham. A collection of Services, Responses (not Preces) and " Psalms " by composers of the late xvi and early xvii centuries. It is an excellent specimen of musical calligraphy, and the initial letters have been left blank for illumination. Special settings of the Responses and " Psalms " are provided for the Matins and Evensong of Christmass, the Epiphany, Easter, Ascension Day, Whitsunday, and All Saints Day, though there are no settings for Evensong of the last-named festival or of the Epiphany. Amongst the Services are " full " settings by Parsons, Shepperd, Mundy, and Byrd for Matins, Ante-Communion, and Evensong.. These include the Venite and the Benedictus. There are also "Verse" settings of the Te Deum,. lubilate, Kyrie, Credo, Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis by Dr. Giles (no. I) and Morley, and two evening services (iii and iv) by Adrian Batten. The volume has an elaborate and rubricated table of contents in which the Kyrie and Credo are designated " High Service.'' In good preservation. Binding: Brown calf, tooled ; impressed with the arms of the Chapter, xvii century. 11. Bass Part Choir Book, Durham cathedral, xvii century. Paper. H.295 m. B. 185 m. The Dean and Chapter of Durham. An interesting collection of over 170 Anthems by English 1 60 Music. composers of the late xvi and early xvii centuries, and at the same time an excellent specimen of musical calligraphy. At the beginning is a table of contents, divided into "Full " and "Verse" Anthems, and at the end is a list of " Verse " Anthems arranged under Festivals and Holy Days. These Anthems for special days form a remarkable collection. Not only are the greater Holy Days amply represented — thus there are two Anthems for Christmass, two for Ash-Wednpsday, three for Good Friday, three for Easter Day, four for the Ascension, three for Whitsunday, three for the Purification, two for Michaelmass, and two for All Saints — but there are settings for the 4th Sunday in Advent, Holy Innocents' Day, the Circumcision, ist Sunday in Lent, Palm Sunday, Easter Monday, and many of the Saints' Days. There are also two Anthems for the 5 th of November, and no less than six for "The Kinge's Day." In one of these by Cranford, the words of the twenty-first Psalm have been curiously altered so as to read " O Lord, make Thy servant Charles, our gracious King, to rejoice in Thy strength ; exceeding glad," &c. The chief composers of the period are well represented, and there are many works by the lesser lights such as Rutter, Allinson (? Allison), Geeres, Read ("God stand eth "), Warrock, Yarrowe ("Almighty and everlasting God "), Warde (" Let God arise "), Hinde, Fido (" Hear me, O Lord "), Parsons of Exeter, Gale (" O how amiable"), Cranford, Tozer ("O Lord, let me know"), Ravenscroft ("Olet me hear"), Amner (" I will sing"), Gibbs ("See sinful souls"), &c. The Anthem, "O Lord, the maker of all things," sometimes attributed to Henry VIII., is put down to Shepherd. In good preservation. Binding: Brown calf, tooled; xvn cen- tury. 12. Benjamin Cosyn's Virginal Book, xvii century. Paper. H. 413 m. B. 268 m. Her Majesty the Queen. This Volume is prefaced by A Table of all the lessons generally contained in this Booke, are in Nomber : 96. By me Beniamin Cosyn Right owner of this Booke. At the foot of this table is a " Cach of nine parts in one," set to the words : " Let us goe pray for John Cooks son for he was a very honest man. An arant knaue." The virginal lessons are written on six-line staves, and are, with two exceptions, by Dr. Bull, Orlando Gibbons, and Cosyn himself Manuscripts. 1 6 1 They comprise original compositions, such as Preludes, Fancies, Galliards, Pavins, Almains, &c., and arrangements of popular songs and dance music of the day. The two exceptions are arrangements of Tallis's " Felix namque " and Byrd's " Goe from my window," and from the table of contents it would seem that these works were arranged for the Virginal by the composers themselves. The latter part of the volume contains, under a distinct pagina- tion, scores, equally barred, of Church Services by Tallis (in Dorian mode), Gibbons (in F), Bevin, Strogers, Byrd, and Weelkes, and also the latter's, " O Absalom, my son." In all of these Services there is a setting of the Venite. Binding : calf tooled, with the initials M O barred through, and B C impressed immediately above. 13. A Mass by an English composer, c. 1490. Vellum. \y>- H. 585 m. B. 440 m. The University Library, Cambridge. Nn. vi, 46. This volume consists of 18 ff., and contains a Mass in three parts : Cantus, Contratenor and Bassus, preceded by some other pieces headed Cantus collateralis, apparently a musical instruction in counterpoint in cipher. The versal letters, of which there are 25, are in burnished gold on a crimson and blue ground relieved by delicate white floriated work. On f 2 are two figures : a king — Henry VII. ? — holding a rose, the petals of which are marked with the letters TENOR; and a civilian in a furred gown, — doubtless the composer, — holding three keys in his left hand to which he points, and says : Make age youre guyde now at youre neede By youth of treuth ye can not speede Oif this Tenor I haue the kayes Who lyst to knowe ensue my wayes. On a scroll held by the king are these lines : Or ye any Armony make Off me ye shall youre noumbr take Dyapentes ye must haue three Than wyth this Rose ye shall agree. Y 102 Mtisic. 14, Will. Forster's Virginal Book. 1624. Paper. Her Majesty the Queen. At the beginning of the manuscript is "A Table of the Lessons" included in it, signed, "31 Januarie, 1624. Will Forster." The volume contains 75 compositions, of which no less than 35 are by Byrd, and 26 anonymous. There are specimens of the Corranto, Grounde, Allmaine, Pauan, Quadran Pauan, Parludam, Galliard, Lachramie, &c. Popular music is represented by settings of "LordWillobee's wellcomehome," "Johnson's delighte," "Watkin's Ale,'' " The marchants dreame," &c. Amongst the more serious and scientific music of the time are arrangements of Parson's " Innomyney " and of nine Anthems by Ward. {Printed Books.) John Animucia. 1500-1571.
