The Eton Choirbook (Eton College, MS 178) is one of only three such books (along with the Lambeth and the Caius choirbooks) to survive from pre-Reformation England. It is a large manuscript collection of Marian antiphons, Magnificat settings and other motets assembled for, and still held at, Eton College. Edward Hygons is thought to possibly be responsible for the existence of this book, as well as the Lambeth Choirbook and the Caius Choirbook.
This choirbook appears to have been compiled in two separate stages, the majority of the works being inscribed around 1490-1500 with some later additions possibly from 1510-15. An index at the back lists 61 compositions, about a third of which are now lost or incomplete. Another index at the beginning adds another 30, 4 of them complete and copied in the same hand as the older layer. Robert Wylkynson's Salve regina and Jesus autem transiens are not listed in the indexes and believed to have been added c. 1510-15. Of the 93 works originally contained, 29 have been completely lost and another 21 are incomplete, although a few of these are also found in other sources.
Publication date and place: 1500 – 1520 in Eton, England. – Manuscript
