A large collection of vocal music, including many of Purcell's works in full score, c 1696-1720
File
MS. Tenbury 1175
Items 28-41 are stated to have been 'transcribed from the original score 1680 [presumably Add MS. 30930, British Library] in the handwriting of the author', i. e. Henry Purcell. The second section of the book (formerly at the reverse end, but now bound in to follow H. Purcell's 'Since God so tender') consists of Latin motets, but no names of composers are recorded with these.
