Dear David, P.S. I failed to send this. I see Stewart isback, sothis duplicates what he wriotes. The RCM is catalogued.
You're in luck. The Harvester Microfilm Collection comes with printed (paper) indexes to the various sections. Also the Paston manuscripts in the British Library are inventoried in Hughes-Hughes catalogue-catalogue of music manuscripts in the British Museum For Royal College of Music, look in the catalogue of the Sacred Harmonic Society, and and for the manuscript now in the Bodleian, take a look in Fellowes' catalogue of manuscripts at St.Michaels' College. So they are all covered. (I'm not certain how high in the Additional numbers Hughes-Hughes gets.) Those Paston manuscripts really get around, don't they. He compiled a huge collection, and some Pasgton manuscripts are over here. It is possible that the catalogues have missed Victoria. Stewart knows much more about these sources than anyone. He must be away. Ron sent this interesting URL. Now I know what Stewart looks like. http://www.cantionesrenovatae.co.uk/ So we can look for Paston Present.<g> ajn. ----- Original Message ----- From: LGS-Europe To: Lute Net Cc: Arthur Ness Sent: Monday, October 31, 2005 5:45 AM Subject: Paston Lute Books Content list? Dear Arthur, and others listening in that might help (Stewart, are you out there?) I'll go the library later this week to see if they have the microfilm. In the mean-time, is there a list of the content or something similarly helpful of the Paston books? They seems like many pages to browse.
