Provenance: purchased by Christ Church, 1757-65. Details of
the accumulation of this set are given in Christ Church, Library
Records 16 (library accounts from 1712 onwards), where the volumes
are reported to have been bought from 'Dr Dickens', presumably
the subscriber 'The Reverend Dr. Dickens, Prebendary of Durham'
(as listed in the vol. 1 list of subscribers). Entries in Library

Volumes 1-3 were initially shelved in the 'Archives' of the Old
Library, together with music from the Aldrich bequest, and
were given the shelfmarks H67-9. Following the removal of the
college's collections to the New Library in c. 1763, the set
was allocated a new single-number shelfmark, L13; this is written
into vols. 1-6. Malchair mistakenly included the set in his
1787 catalogue of the Goodson bequest (on f. 7, as '8 Folio
bound books Psalms of Marcello'), presumably because in the New
Library they were shelved beside the Goodson books.
Upright format, 370 x 267 mm. C18th bindings of marbled paper
over boards, quarter bound in brown leather, with insets of red
leather on spines, tooled in gold: 'Marcello Vol. I [-8]'.
Bookplate 1 in all 8 volumes. C19th shelfmarks: H.1.24-31.
Microfilms: The printed music of Christ Church, Oxford, reels 1 and 2.
