Lambeth Choirbook

The Lambeth Choirbook is an illuminated choirbook dating from the early Tudor period (ca. 1490-1530). This book is also sometimes referred to as the Arundel Choirbook. Edward Hygons is thought to be responsible for the production of this choirbook, as well as the Eton Choirbook and Caius Choirbook. The same scribe is believed to have copied this book as the Caius Choirbook. The choirbook consists of 19 pieces: seven masses, four Magnificat settings and eight motets.

Publication date and place: 1525 - 1530. – Manuscript
