DESCRIPTION
| IDENTIFIER | DOI: 10.14277/unive/vmo/soundstmark/2017/choirbook7 |
| PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION | 18 sheets: 1 front flyleaf 17 sheets with music In-plano. Maximum sheet size (mm): 754 (height) x 496 (width) Folios unnumbered Before restoration (2015), the manuscript had 19 sheets: what is now the front pastedown, glued to the cover, was formerly the first of 2 free flyleaves. During restoration, the second front flyleaf, 2/3 incomplete (in its lower section), was reconstructed. The margins of the other sheets, characterized by evident lacunae and signs of wear and tear, were also reintegrated. |
| BINDING | The choirbook is cord bound between two unadorned paperboard covers; the spine is uncovered. Before restoration (2015), the binding thread was broken and incomplete: eight of the twelve raised bands were broken at the front joint. During restoration, spine and raised bands were replaced. |
| MATERIAL |
Paper: 2 types Type 1 (front pastedown, and probably the front flyleaf, largely reconstructed): Chain line width (mm): 33 Watermark 1a (centre of half-sheet): Trefoil with letters ‘b’ ‘V’ Watermark 1b (centre of half-sheet): Bird Type 2 (sheets 2–18): Chain line width (mm): 34 Watermark 2 (centre of half-sheet): Trefoil with letters ‘S’ ‘S’ |
| DATING | 1715 |
| COPYIST(S) | Anonymous 4 |
| INVENTORY | Marchio Angeli (1720) no. 11 |
| NOTES | A label with the number ‘10’ is visible on the front pastedown (or, prior to restoration, the verso of the first flyleaf); this presumably stems from an earlier numbering of the choirbooks. |
