London, British Library, MS R.M. 24.d.2: John Baldwin’s Commonplace Book compiled between the mid-1580s and 1606 by the tenor John Baldwin, who served as lay clerk at St George’s Chapel, Windsor (1575-98) and gentleman of the Chapel Royal (1598-1615). Contains a mixture of sacred and secular, Latin, Italian and English, copied in several layers in a variety of formats.
