One of four surviving part-books in a set (MSS. Tenbury 341-344), with 3 tipped-in letters from John Jebb to Frederick Lygon, 1864-1865. The Bassus book is missing from the set and the Quinta and Sexta Parts are bound together. The first four motets included in MSS. Tenbury 342-344 belong to a separate collection and are not present in the Superius part-book. The original pagination of all the four books begins with motet 'Emendemus' and ends with 'Decantabat'. Further motets are in MS. Tenbury 342 alone. Copied by a single scribe employed by Edward Paston of Norfolk.

Frederick Lygon, 6th Earl Beauchamp, from whom they passed at that date to Sir Frederick Ouseley.
