Trumbull

DATE: c1595

Page measurements: approx. 296 x 202 mm

Pedagogical book in upright folio format, probably used as ateaching exemplar 1605-25. As the book was unbound for mostof its life the edges of the paper have worn away considerably, and measurements of the size are very approximate. Spencer 1980 provides most of the detail regarding provenance and appearance of the sheets when they were photographed. All but one of the pieces are copied in the same hand, almost certainly that of William Trumbull.

The music appears to be in the hand of William Trumbull, secretary and late envoy at the Brussels court of the Archduke Albert of Austria from c1605-1625. Jottings in Flemish imply that he had the book with him in Brussels, but Spencer suggests that it was written much earlier while Trumbull was a teenage apprentice. There seemto be six watermarks dating from the 1580s, though one may have been in use as late as 1598. Two similar designs of printed paper and hand-ruled paper are mixed, with many half-sheets suggesting, together with the miscellaneous watermarks, that what survives are miscellaneous sheets from what may have been a larger collection. Fenlon and Milsom concur with Spencer's dating, though if this is a pedagogical book, the contents are likely to pre-date the copying period. Trumbull's correspondence suggests musical interests during the first and second decades of the17th century, and it is more likely that he would have foundthe time and been able to afford a teacher to learn the instrument while he wasin Brussels than before, during his apprenticeship. However, it appears that he was using the book as a teachingexemplar at this time, supporting the probability that it was originally copied c1595.
