Household or personal anthology in oblong quarto format. Details of thebook and its provenance are provided in Spencer/Alexander 1978. The date 1596occurson page 190 but the ink is dark and it is certainly a retrospective entry. Poems, elegies and legal drafts take up much of the book and are the only contents other thanthe music.
Spencer suggests that the date of the watermark implies the manuscript was for some decades simply a blank book. Pilkington's BMus (11 July 1595) is mentioned in the ascriptions.
Of the 49 pieces of music, eight are solos, 15 are for lute duet, one isfor lute trio, and 25 are intabulations of consort songs. Of the last, 23lack the singing part. Nearly half of the song accompaniments are completelyunbarred. Most of the titles originally utilised a cypher alphabet, but many have been erased,disguised withelaborate patterns, and transliterated. A key to those that remain hasbeen provided by Robert Spencer in his introduction to the facsimile.
