=505  ##$aFive voices and basso continuo. Mass sections are mostly non-canonic. The Christe can be sung either by four or five voices. The three-part Benedictus can be sung four ways (one of which is canonic). The Agnus Dei II can be sung 14 ways by means of a retrograde bass line and an optional sixth voice in canon with it at the 12th above. The top of each page has a canon in closed notation (i.e., one part only with signs to indicate how other parts are derived). Includes a set of 28 canons placed at the top of 30 or the 40 pages in this volume. In two cases, a solution is provided to a canon appearing on the previous page. Canons are unrelated liturgically to scored Mass sections underneath them. Letter names of voices (C, B, A, T) are used sometimes instead of presa (.s.) signs to indicate entries of comites. Two or three staves only are used for notating the canons. In most cases, one canonic dux may occupy all staves; in other cases (double canons), canonic duces occupy different staves. Comites are not written out. No barlines.

=599  ##$aVarious borrowings/materials from earlier books including: Book I/1 Benedictus; Motet and Missa Benedicamum Dominus (Gloria); items from book III. Many canons are found elsewhere in the 1627 and 1630 publications in full score: (i) Kyrie, Benedictus, Osanna, Agnus Dei from Missa pro Vigiliis, ac feriis à 4 in Spartitura Delle Messe del Primo Libro (Rome, 1627). (ii) Benedictus, Osanna from Missa Pro feriis, ad canons, in Partitvra Delle Messe et Motetti a qvattro, et cinque voci. Con 40 Esempi di Contrapunti all'Ottaua, Decima, & Duodecima (Rome, 1627). (iii) Benedictus from Messa Benedicam Dominum, in Spartitura della Messa et Motetto Benedicam Dominum ad canons, a quattro voci (Rome, 1627). (iv) Benedictus, Osanna, Agnus Dei from Missa Ad canones Quatuor vocibus, in Variorum Missarum Liber Posthumus (Rome, 1630). (v) Benedictus, Agnus Dei from Missa Quatuor vocibus, Septimi Toni, ad canones in Agostini's Variorum Missarum Liber Posthumus (Rome, 1630). (vi) "Et resurrexit" (2 canons) from Missa Sine nomine in Partitura del Terzo Libro della Messa Sine Nomine, A Quattro (Rome, 1627). (vii) Motet Benedicam Dominum (3 canons) from Spartitura della Messa et Motetto Benedicam Dominum ad canons, a quattro voci (Rome, 1627). (viii) Kyrie 1, Gloria (Amen) and Credo (Patrem: Amen) from Missa Benedicam Dominum, in Partitura della Messa et Motetto Benedicam Dominum ad canons, a quattro voci (Rome, 1627). DC still looking for concordances for other canons in the published Mass settings (1627, 1630). Possible that they may be from lost Mass settings?
