Abstract

This article revisits manuscript P-Cug MM 3 and proposes new hypotheses concerning its production and original structure. Particular focus is placed on the collection of six Masses it contains, identifying the models for five of them. The recurring use of presentation types featuring stacked entries supports the attribution of the entire repertory to Francisco de Santa Maria, and the content authorship further reinforces

the autographic nature of the manuscript.
