Lacking three leaves near the beginning with six tunes as per the index. 1 vols. Small oblong 8vo. Original limp leather binding in Cambridge style worn restitched.

Lacking three leaves near the beginning with six tunes as per the index. 1 vols. Small oblong 8vo. Fascinating early colonial American manuscript book of tunes with family provenance suggesting connections to Watertown and Woburn Mass. The manuscript is a compilation of psalm and hymn tunes with some material deriving from the two American tune books published in the 1720s. There are 24 compositions from Walter The Grounds and Rules of Music and 37 compositions from Tufts An Introduction to the Art of Singing Psalm Tunes. Two are American compositions and are marked "new" in the manuscript: Psalm 100 and Southwell which figures in both Walter and Tufts. There are 60 compositions all but one of which are sacred. The one secular song is "The Sylvan Oracle" from Congreve's Judgment of Paris a Masque 1701 the first verses of which are inscribed here: Let ambition fire thy mind Thou wert born o'er men to reign Not to follow flocks design'd; Scorn thy crook and leave the plain. Crowns I'll throw beneath thy feet Thou on necks of kings shall tread Joys in circles joys shall meet Which way e'er thy fancies lead. The ownership signature "Nathaniel Clark His Book An. Dom. 1731/2" points to Nathaniel Clark 1698-1776 whose son Peter Clark was born in Woburn in 1738. Later family notes on provenance accompany the manuscript. Cf. Britton & Lownens 491-6 & 516-7 unknown books

An Incunable of the Utmost Rarity. Johann Zainer the Elder fl. 1472-93 established the first printing press at Ulm where his first book is dated 1473. This pocket psalter by Zainer is undated; the colophon gives only the printer's name and the city in which it was printed. ISTC gives a conjectural date of around 1480. The book's handy but fragile format a thick octavo that would have been easily portable for late fifteenth-century users doubtless guaranteed a low survival rate. Indeed the few copies which have survived are often incomplete fragments or in poor condition. ISTC gives the following locations: France: Strasbourg BNU imperfect wanting Commune sanctorum; Germany: Bamberg SB; Berlin SB; Fulda HLB; Leipzig DB/Buch fragment missing; München BSB 2 imperfect; Stuttgart WLB 3; U.S.A: Washington DC Washington Cathedral Library this copy The present copy - the only copy in America - is complete save for the first two leaves of the Calendar and the blank leaf at the end.
