| IDENTIFIER | DOI: 10.14277/unive/vmo/soundstmark/2017/choirbook9 |
| PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION | 7 sheets In-plano. Maximum sheet size (mm): 652 (height) x 485 (width) Modern numbering in pencil. Originally unnumbered. Two modern endpapers are glued respectively to the front and back covers |
| BINDING | The choirbook is bound between hardboard and parchment covers (both with lacunae, in particular on the back cover and spine). It originally had six raised bands in cord with strips of paper for reinforcement. During restoration in 2015, the manuscript was unbound and some fragments of paper originally glued to the binding as reinforcements were removed. |
| MATERIAL |
Paper: 2 types Type 1 (endpaper glued to front cover): Chain line width (mm): 32 Watermark 1 (centre of half-sheet): Trefoil with letters ‘G’ ‘H’ Type 2 (sheets 1-7): Chain line width (mm): 32 Watermark 2 (centre of half-sheet): Flag 75mm with pole |
| DATING | 1720 |
| COPYIST(S) | Anonymous 5 Choirbook 10 was copied by the same anonymous copyist. |
| NOTES | The title-page indicates the probable date of compilation (1720), together with the date of Antonio Lotti’s election as maestro di cappella at St Mark’s (1736). The latter is a later addition. What remains of a label on the front cover (exterior) seems to bear the annotation ‘12’, presumably stemming from an earlier numbering of the choirbooks. The same number appears on another label, glued to the verso of the front endpaper. |
