Livro dos defuntos P-Cug (Coimbra) Biblioteca Geral da Universidade MM 0034

None of composers attributed in manuscript can be identified with the Monastery of Santa Cruz in Coimbra, although it seems likely that the manuscript originated in Coimbra. The music is exclusively Iberian in origin. The MS appears to have been prepared by a single person, who carried out the work in two main stages, corresponding to the first 40 folios and the last seven (now five). (Cf Rees 1995, p. 240.) The book appears to have been specifically compiled for performance; it also includes many written instructions to the singers. The MS gives the appearance of having been frequently used; it also has many drops of wax on the folios. (Further information in Rees 1995, pp. 241-42.)
Original ink foliation. Original fol. 046 is missing; the last surviving folio (fol. 047) not given a number. This last folio has been given the new folio number fol. 046r here (= fol. [047]: see Rees 1995, p. 239)
