Organ-book containing accompaniments to anthems and service music,
copied for use at Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford; English, early
18th century, with later additions. The contents partly duplicate
those of Mus. 1220-4, the principal set of partbooks in use at
Christ Church Cathedral in the post-Restoration era. The contents
of Mus. 1230 were copied principally by Richard Goodson Sr, in
three layers: (1) items 1-39; (2) items 41-56; and (3) item 61. The
last three folios of the first layer (pp. 76-81) are now missing.
Blank pages in the volume were subsequently filled by Richard
Goodson Jr (items 40, 57-8, 60, 61 (2nd Jubilate only) and 62), and
by two unidentified hands (items 59 and 63).
