Mus. 1188-9
Manuscript. Early 20th-century guardbook of stiff card and vellum
(upright format, 427 x 317 mm) containing a miscellany of unrelated
sheets and fascicles, the majority of them English, mid 17th-early
18th centuries. Some or all of the contents formerly bore the
call-number Mus. 1036 (see f. 32). The current double-numeral
pressmark, 'Mus. 1188-9', pre-dates the current binding, and
may reflect an arrangement in which the larger sheets were kept
separate from the smaller ones.
Microfilm: manuscript music, reel 39.
