Mus. 15
Two manuscripts, both largely copied by Henry Aldrich, and bound
together during his lifetime; English, late 17th century. The
volume comprises:
Upright format, 357 x 240 mm. 'Aldrich binding' Type 1. Bookplate 2. 19th-century shelfmark: H.1.15. Provenance: Henry Aldrich; then possibly Sampson Estwick, a variant of whose name appears on the front flyleaf as a pen-trial ('Samul Estwck His Book'). The earliest catalogue entry for this volume is by Hind (in Archives 1717), item H57, where it is listed as 'Te Deum &c. Out of the Deep &c. I waited patiently &c. M.S. Folio'. In Mus. 15 itself, the shelfmark 'H.57' is written on both of the two front flyleaves of the volume. Microfilm: manuscript music, reel 2. For a list of other items at Christ Church associated with Sampson Estwick, see the entry for Mus. 1142b (f. 51).
