Upright format, 305 x 200 mm. 71 folios, foliated in modern pencil
as follows: ff. 1-24; then [ff. 25-55] unfoliated; then ff. 56-71
incorrectly foliated as '59-74'. (The incorrect foliation is
cited in the inventory above.) Pages with music notation have
the following collation. (No attempt has been made to establish
a collation for the unfoliated central block of leaves with unused
staves.)
- From front of volume: A10 (= ff. 1-10) / B6 (ff. 11-18) / C10
(ff. 19-[28]).
- From rear of volume: Z12 (ff. '63-74') / ?Y14 (of which Y1-9
are unfoliated, Y10 is excised, and Y11-14 are ff. '59-62').
Unused ruled staves on ff. 5v and 24r-'[58]'r. Early 18th-century
binding of mottled brown leather over boards, gold-tooled with
fillets. No early bookplate. 19th-century shelfmark: I.1.10.
Provenance unknown; possibly from the Goodson bequest (on the
grounds of absence of an early bookplate). Not listed in any
of the 18th-century catalogues of the Christ Church music collections.
