You need to use McFeely's inventory with GREAT CARE. The Ballet Ms is right there, although you have to look hard to find it. Hint: upper right hand corner under Ms. 408/1. Also the bibliography. Otherwise you wouldn't know what's what. And I must warn all of you about "fascicle manuscripts." Denys and others have had problems with them. Often, even in the distant past,
unrelated manuscripts are sometimes bound together. In the Munich lute manuscript, for several centuries, lute music, when it was received, was tossed into several envelopes, as sheet music. One envelope even somehow included orchestral parts for a 17th century ballet, along with the tablatures. In 1868 the sheets were taken out of the envelopes and bound together, although they were from various places and times. MusMs 266 has 11 unrelated fascicles dating from ca. 1536 to 1577. For Ballet you need to look for Ms. 408/1. The shelf number for the Ballet manuscript has changed from Dublin, Trinity College Library, Ms. D.1.21 to Ibid., Ms.408/1. That's essential information, and McFeely fails to tell us!!<shudder> Ms. D.1.21 formerly encompassed two unrelated manuscripts. It was a fascicle manuscript. Now the second fascicle is Ms. 408/2. Similarly with the Dallis Manuscript. I didn't find "Maid Mary," but McFeely says she left out some pieces.<sigh> That is, McFeely, not Mary. On 11/30/15, Wayne <<<SNIP>>> > William Ballet Lute Book.
