Montserrat, Biblioteca del Monestir 823

Two early 15th century fascicles containing French rondeaux and virelais, one in black notation and the other in white, a total of 14 folios, were trimmed to fill the covers of a book published in Paris in 1509. Using G¢mez' revised foliation, the 10 pieces on fols. 1-8, all entered by the same scribe in mainly black notation (i.e. nos. 1-4, 6-9, 11-12) have been included in the inventory. The rondeau `Que..' on fol. 6v without music is excluded.
