The''' Fayrfax Manuscript''' (British Museum Add MS 5465) contains works of [[William Cornysh|William Cornishe jr.]], [[Richard Davy|Davy]], [[Gilbert Banester|Banastir]], [[Newark]], [[Sheringham]], [[Tutor]], [[Edmund Turges|Turges]], [[John Browne|Browne]], Sir [[Thomas Philipps]], and a number of anonymous composers as well as seven pieces by [[Robert Fayrfax]], whose arms appear on the title page.   It seems to have been compiled before Fayrfax received the title of Doctor in 1504, and a prayer for Prince Arthur (d. 1502) likewise dates it to around the turn of the century.   A modern edition by John Stevens appears in ''Musica Britanica'' vol. 36.
