edition from GB-Lcm MS 1070, fol. 63v–68r This edition is taken directly from the manuscript, London, Royal College of Music MS 1070, fol. 63v–68r. The manuscript probably was produced in France in the earlier part of the sixteenth century, perhaps ca.1515–1520. The manuscript itself generally is called "The Anne Boleyn Music Book" due to an inscription in a slightly later English hand in the middle of the manuscript, “Mres A Bolleyene Nowe thus”. Its relationship to Anne Boleyn, if any, is uncertain. The reference to “M[ist]res[s]” suggests a date before 1533 (when she became Queen of England). If the manuscript was acquired by Anne Boleyn it may have been when she was in France, 1514–1521.
