P-Cug (Coimbra) Biblioteca Geral da Universidade MM 006
4 Paper types; 3 watermarks, 1 watermark on paper 3 similar to marks on MM 37 and MM 44 (paper 8) (cf Rees 1995: 159, 369 & 386).
No original inscriptions or marks.
Six original scribes; additions, mostly chant, by a variety of different scribes. One of the original six scribes also copied the chant book P-Cug MM 37. The formal type of notation and copying habits connect MM 6 with P-Cug MM 9 and MM 12. Luis Moran’s Magnificat at fols. 40v-45r apparently served as direct exemplar for P-Cug MM 32, fols. 75v-81r. The Salve regina setting on fols. 82v-86r may be attributed to Heliodoro de Paiva on stylistic grounds (see Rees, p. 159); folios in this piece are out of order because of the modern rebinding of the manuscript.
