2 Harley, , British Harpsichord Music, i, p. 83Google Scholar. Another MS listed in Harley, and not in Brookes, is Lbl Add. MS 4388 (‘after 1653’); but its two two-part pieces on fol. 103v may not be for keyboard. Under ‘Printed Music’ Harley lists de Caus, S., Les raisons des forces mouvantes (Frankfurt am Main, 1615)Google Scholar, with a transcription by Peter Philips of Striggio's Chi fara.

3 In her list of Abbreviations for Manuscript Sources (p. ix) Brookes mentions ‘LCL (GB) (In private hands)’; this MS remains elusive, since it does not feature in Part I of the book.
