Wichhambrook

DATE: c1595

Page measurements: 410 x 280 mm

Professional book in upright folio format. Its provenance was discussed by Daphne Stephens. The title seems to have been derived from the village of Wickhambrook where an owner of the book between 1936 and 1947, MissDulcie Lawrence-Smith, lived. The hand of Scribe A is very similar to those in Welde and Folger C in neatness, size and consistency, but it is almost certainly concordant with Folger C, possibly written by a pupil of John Johnson, as all the music in this hand is by him. Scribe B uses a different final double bar and a slightly different angulation in the flagging, but is otherwise very similar to Scribe A, and appears to have been filling in gaps left by him. All the ascriptions were written in the same hand, possibly that of Scribe A, although it is quite possible that the two hands were written by the same scribe,and since the script does not vary dramatically, either in the tablature or the ascriptions, it is unlikely that the two layers were chronologically very widely separated.

Though Stephens gives c1595 for the MS, the consensus among the other sources seem to be c1590. However, Lord Willoughby's Welcome Home is based on a tune only registered c1590 and Ferdinando Stanley became Lord Strange in 1593, so c1595 seems a more accurate date. The watermarks are found in papers manufactured between 1564 and 1598, which does notcontradict either of the dates given here. Although both this source and Folger show what appear to be signatures of the Johnsons, it seemsunlikely that either MS was written by them, since the signatures are not consistently appended to all the music byJohn Johnson.
