*Keyboard manuscript, almost certainly English, attributed to an "R. Cr.", who signs and dates several pieces. Nowhere does this copyist write his name in full. On an later scrap of paper pasted to an endpage, there is a list (in a different hand to the copyist) of composers in the manuscript, including this entry: "probably transcribed some composed by Dr R. Creigton. 1635." The only Dr. R. Creig[h]ton that fits this date would be Robert Creighton (1593-1672), later Bishop of Bath and Wells, and father of the composer Robert Creighton (c.1639-1734).
- In the (19th century) French contents list, the name is given as "Richard(?) Creigton".
- Contient des oeuvres originales ou transcrites d'après Thomas Bateson, Wilkinson, Thomas Morley, John Dowland, R. Cr. [Richard Creighton], Henry Loosemore, William Daman, William Byrd, John Silver, Mr Lever, Thomas Tallis, Orlando Gibbons, Thomas Mudd (1550-after 1619), Richard Clarke, John Bull, John Lugg, Thomas Tomkins. - Certaines des oeuvres de Creighton portent des dates de compositions (1635 à 1638), mais ne sont pas copiées dans l'ordre chronologique. - Au début, index partiel des pièces par sources
