Abstract
Abstract The Willmott and Braikenridge manuscripts, once owned by the Norwich merchant John Sadler (d.1592), are all that is known to survive from his second partbook set, dated 1591. This article explores the custodial history of those volumes, tracing their various later owners and the marks they left. It finds that the two surviving volumes may have been apart since 1709—a separation that persisted until they were reunited in 2022—and also that the set’s three missing partbooks may have been lost only since 1885, raising hopes that they may one day be found.
期刊介绍：
Early Music is a stimulating and richly illustrated journal, and is unrivalled in its field. Founded in 1973, it remains the journal for anyone interested in early music and how it is being interpreted today. Contributions from scholars and performers on international standing explore every aspect of earlier musical repertoires, present vital new evidence for our understanding of the music of the past, and tackle controversial issues of performance practice. Each beautifully-presented issue contains a wide range of thought-provoking articles on performance practice. New discoveries of musical sources, instruments and documentation are regularly featured, and innovatory approaches to research and performance are explored, often in collections of themed articles.
