Description

Four folios remaining from a 14th-century lost music manuscript, containing: one Gloria, two incomplete motets and two complete motets, all of them unica, except fot Multipliciter amando, also preserved in F-CH MS 564. The motet Ferre solet / Ana theos de gracia / Ave Maria has such a detailed acrostich in the top voices, naming one Johannes Vavassoris as its composer, that one can tentatively suggest that this composer might also be the copyist of these folios.
