Mus. 223

Printed. Partitura, lacking the accompanying vocal Canto part.

Mus. 223
Gratiani, Bonifatio, 1604 or 5-1664 Grove
Il terzo libro de' motetti a voce sola del sig. D. Bonifatio Gratiani maestro di Capp. nella Chiesa del Giesù, e Seminario Rom. Partitura.
Rome: Nella stamparia di Iacomo Fei d'And. F., 1665

Provenance: from the Aldrich bequest, listed in Archives 1717, item I13, as 'Another Piece of Gratiani', qualified in Dowding (main hand) as 'A voc. Solo. Rome 1665'.

Upright format, 220 x 168 mm. Mid C17th covers of coarse grey card. The upper cover is numbered '3' in C17th ink, apparently in a numerical sequence together with Mus. 171-2 (which is numbered '1') and Mus. 173) (numbered '2'); this may imply that the volumes shared a common provenance before they entered Aldrich's collection. Shelfmark 'I.13' on inside upper cover. Bookplate 2. C19th shelfmark: I.3.131.
