Collection of motets in four parts.
With index at the front of all part books except the tenor.
With a dedication to D. Anthonio Perenoto, Bishop of Arras, in Latin in the tenor part book only.
Attribution for 'Tribulationes ciuitatem audiuimus' is taken from Harry B. Lincoln, The Latin Motet: Indexes to Printed Collections, 1500-1600 (Ottawa: Institute of Medieval Music, 1993), pp.761.
Ute Meissner lists 'Nobilis illa inter septenas' as the secunda pars of 'Timor & tremor venit in Niniuen' (Der Antwerpener Notendrucker Tylman Susato (Berlin: Verlag Merseburger, 1967), pp.85-87). Although 'secunda pars' is printed at the top of the page containing 'Nobilis illa inter septenas', the index lists this as a separate motet. In the superior and bassus part books the score is given its own composer heading as if it were the begining of a new motet. Furthermore, 'Timor and tremor' and 'Nobilis illa inter septenas' use different clefs in all parts. Harry Lincoln separates these as two motets.
