Notes:

Part of the binding materials used for this book was a page from Orlando Lasso's Cantiones aliquot quinque vocum (printed by Adam Berg in Munich in 1569). A fragment can be seen in this image. A comparison with a facsimile in Peter Bergqusit's edition of the Berg print (in: Recent Researches in the Music of the Renaissance, 112 [Madison: AR Editions, 1998], plate 3, following p. xxxii) strengthens the argument for this book as the source for this isolated page, as does the fact that the work appears as no. 14 in Bergquist's edition of the Berg print--i.e., it's the same number that appears on this page.

Many thanks to Lawrence F. Bernstein, Professor Emeritus of Music at the University of Pennsylvania for finding all this information within fifteen minutes of an image being sent to him.
