Drake (Sir Francis, pirate, sea captain, and explorer, 1540-96).- Bagg (James, Mayor of Plymouth, factor for Philip Corsini, Florentine merchant, 1554/5-1624) Autograph Letter signed to Philip Corsini, 1p., 4to, Plymouth, 8th November 1591, "I rec[eived] yrs by this post. I p[e]rceve thereby Sir Francis Drake doth still oppose him selfe against the passage of fish and you I noe are in some doubt that it shall not passe awaye. The shipp stayese onlye uppon a good wynde and God wyllynge and not wythstandynge any staye or betrayal, they shall depart awaye wt the hole ladynge... . I have put 2 butts of the Leches o board the 3 butts I hav gone wyth what you will have done therwh...", address to Corsini on verso, small ink hole in left corner, folds, browned. ⁂ A contemporary reference to Sir Francis Drake. Philip Corsini, based in London used the services of James Bagg as his factor in Plymouth, checking incoming vessels with merchandise and supervising the smelting and loading of tin and other commodities for transport to London and Italy. Drake was an important man in the affairs of Plymouth and he was often used by the Court to adjudicate on and recover stolen property from merchant vessels plundered by English privateers. Drake, Corsini and Bagg were involved over a ship called the Uggera Salvagnia that had been seized by vessels commanded by T. Middleton, Erasmus Harvey, and John Davis. Corsini and an associate, Scipio Borsany claimed the cargo as the property of Italian merchants and the captors claimed they were the property of Spanish and Portugese traders. There was a lawsuit over the appropriation of the cargo. Sir Walter Raleigh acted on behalf of Davis, and a compromise appears to have been arrived at in February 1591, only a few months before this letter was written. Provenance: Christie's Robson Lowe Historical Letters, Corsini letters, lot 153, 11th October 1988.
*** Please note, the description of this lot has changed *** Byzantine music.- [Collection of hymns, with late Byzantine musical notation], decorated manuscript on paper, i + 82 + iii leaves, (lacking some leaves at beginning and possibly others), text block: c. 130 x 85 mm., 22 lines average per page, (11 of text and 11 of musical notation), fol. 75r with two missing lines added by scribe in lower margin, written in a single hand in black ink with red marking and modal signatures, headings in red, numerous decorated initials in red, some with penwork extension or embellished with undulating wings, handsome head-pieces with intertwined ribbons in red and black, text overall clean and legible, stitching weak, numerous leaves loose, some marginal browning and spotting; some stains, especially to outer blank margin of last leaves, a few traces of mould at lower margin, some leaves soiled in gutter, contemporary limp brown leather over pasteboards, rather worn, front hinge broken with upper cover detaching from volume, small 4to (168 x 118mm.), Greece, [after 1814].*** A fine, unsophisticated, albeit incomplete, sticherarion, i.e. a post-Byzantine manuscript used in the Greek Church for morning and evening services, and containing the musical setting of stichera or verses from texts or hymns arranged in the cycle of the liturgical Orthodox calendar. In this manuscript the musical notation is written above the text, and provides a good example of the elaborate late Byzantine Kalophonis style. The manuscript contains at least eight different texts: fols. 1r-8 (text is lacking the opening leaves); 9r-34v (ἦχος ... 'Κύριε ἐκέκραξα'); 34v-47v: (Ἀρχη τοῦ πλαγίου ἦχος πλ α ΠΑ); 47v-57r (Ἀρχη τοῦ πλαγίου ἦχος, πλ β ΠΑ); 57r-65r (Ἀρχη τοῦ βαρέος ἦχου, 'Κύριε ἐκέκραξα'); 65v-73r (Ἀρχη τοῦ πλαγίου πλ δ, 'Κύριε ἐκέκραξα'); 73r-77r (ἦχος... 'Εισ το o o o ρος τοις'); 77r-82v (Ἀρχη τοῦ τετάρτου ἦχου, 'Κύριε ἐκέκραξα'). The composers' names are not given, but some of these chants can possibly be ascribed to the renowned 18th-century composer and chanter Peter the Peloponnesian. The script of the codex does not indicate its precise origin, and it was possibly used (in a Greek monastery?) for learning the archaic style of singing, as the late 19th-century drawings in black and violet ink on the front endpaper, displaying two scales of eight modes, supplemented with brief explanations, seem to attest. Furthermore, on fol. 9r one of the 19th-century owners of the volume has added, in violet ink, a verse addition. The manuscript therefore shows the lasting interest in earlier notation and older melodies in spite of the introduction in 1814 of the much simplified notation by Bishop Chrisanthos of Madytos.Provenance: late 19th-century ownership inscriptions in violet ink on the endpapers, including 'Stylienos Capietekis', and the mention, in black ink, of a monastery (Hagios [?]), not entirely legible. Several 19th-century annotations in black ink on the endpapers and the rear pastedown, variously dated from 1839 to 1881. On the recto of the last rear endpaper a pencilled drawing depicting Christ Blessing; other rough ink drawings on the rear endpapers.
