Medieval Music Database

London, British Library, Additional 38651

A collection of fragments under one signature. Fragment `F' comprises eleven 14th century musical fragments taken from the binding of Ms. Harley 602. Eight of these form the greater part of two bifolios, while the ninth is apparently from a different manuscript. The remaining two fragments contain plainsong. The text`Noster lumen' on folios 2v-3 was copied under empty staves; this piece has been excluded from the inventory.
