Upright format, 375 x 245 mm. 85 folios; pagination is partly by Goodson Jr (pp. 1-71), partly modern (with two errors, hence pp. 130a-b after p. 130, and pp. 144a-b after p. 140). Unused ruled staves on pp. 122-145 and 166. Contemporary binding of marbled paper over boards. Inside upper cover signed 'Richard Goodson [Jr] Oxon. E[ius]: L[iber]:'. No early bookplate. 19th-century shelfmark: H.1.32.

Provenance: from the Goodson bequest, listed in Clement 1747 as 'Oedipus Mr Purcell in Score No. 29', and in Malchair 1787 (f. 2) as 'Folio Marble Cover - Mask in Oedipus - Timon of Athens - Bonduca - Indian Queen - St Cecilias Song - and others: Henry Purcell'. Clement's number-label is missing from the volume itself.
