EIRE-Dublin, Trinity College Library, Ms.408/2

DATE: c1605

Page measurements: 265 x 180 mm

Pedagogical book in upright folio format. The book was bound by thelibrary with Ballet; the pagination was added after theywere bound together, and follows on from the numbering in the previousmanuscript. Thus folio 1 of 408/2 is page 76. The MS is completely unrelatedto Ballet. Preservation work in 1982 destroyed the original gatherings in order to interleave the pages with new paper to prevent the spread of mould. Blankruledpages were retained, and probably there was no further disturbance to thebook as the conservator found it. However, it seems clear that there is a folio missing betweenpages 90 and 91, as those pages show the beginning and end respectively of twodifferent pieces. The page was missing when Lumsden examined the MS and, as the pagination is consecutive, has probably been missing since the 18th century. There are twoscribes: the first appears to be concordant with that of 6402and both seem to have completed their copying within a short time-span.

Lumsden believed 'Omnino galliard' on p.90 to be by Robert Johnson, butdespite this did not place the MS after 1600 as he suggested this would imply. Infact,the piece is by John Johnson, and concordances with earlier sourcessupport the attribution. Ward suggests that the music by Robinson, if it was taken from Robinson 1603, implies that the scribe was still at work on thebook in 1603. The majority of the music, though, is at least ten years earlier indate, and includes several ground bass pieces on the passamezzo that werebeginning tolose popularity by 1605. Despite the absence of duets, the retrospective date of therepertory,and the preponderance of short simple pieces in the opening pages suggeststhat this is a pedagogical book. The missing binding and endpapers wouldundoubtedlyhave provided some further clue as to ownership, but the pedagogical purpose seems morelikelythan that the book was a personal anthology, as it does not show any ofthe major characteristics of this type of book. The second scribe does notappear to have been related to the first, but may have been his teacher, as is the case inSampson. The watermark is unhelpful in dating as it is not similar to any ofthose currently catalogued. It is smaller than most, and may be English as itis not related to the numerous foreign designs.
