One of four surviving part-books in a set (MSS. Tenbury 341-344). 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. In 1921 they were repaired at the British Museum and new backs supplied although the original covers were retained.
