Unidad documental simple 1 - Collection of anthems in score

1 vol., 31.5 x 20 cm

A volume of verse anthems by Blow, Clarke, Croft, Gibbons, Greene, Humfrey, Nares, Tudway, Turner, Weldon, and Wise, with two anthems by unidentified composers, and a trio sonata by Corelli.

An index pasted to the inside front cover has been written in a variety of hands, and lists some of the anthems in a different order and pagination. The paper is uniform, with 12 staves to a page. There appear to have been four principal copyists, professional or expert hands.
