NotesThis manuscript appears to have been created from three pre-existing manuscripts, each of which is written on 12-stave paper. The paper is thought to be mid-eighteenth century, possibly by Whatman. Ff [1-47] are written in one hand; pp1-86 numbered, and a note at the top of f [47v] '94 pages'. Ff [48-92] are in one, possibly two hands, and the pages are not numbered. Ff [93-121] are written in another hand and the pages are numbered 1-58.
