Remarks

Paper manuscript containing polyphonic music from the 16th century, in a laced-case binding from around 1600. According to Kongsted (2016), this booklet is one of originally eight such part books. The host volume belonged to Herlufsholm Skole, a private Latin school located in Næstved, Sealand founded in 1565 on the grounds of a secularised Benedictine monastery, St Peders Kloster. The old library of Herlufsholm was transferred to the University Library of Southern Denmark in 1968-69.
