Household or personal anthology in upright folio format. It was originally housed in the Preussischer Staatsbibliothek Musikabteilung, Berlin and a shelf mark can be seen on f.1r: M 1932.650, dating from this time. The binding appears to date from 1936. The date is based mostly on concordances with ML and Vallet 1615 among others. It is supported by the otherconcordances and the large proportion of maske music which is typical of sources dating from c1620. The manuscript was examined by Robert Spencer in 1985, and his provisional notes include a diagram of the gatherings of which there are four; the first three of four and the fourth of three bifolia. The outer end-papers are modern except for the second end-paper at the front, which was presumably preserved because it has a watercolour on it.
