Notes

Currently, there are two competing theories concerning the origin and date of this manuscript: Ros-Fábregas 2017 has suggested that it was copied in Tarazona in the middle or the second half of the 16th century; however, Rodríguez-García has showed that Ros-Fábregas claim is hardly tenable and proposed that the manuscript was most probably copied in the decade before the death of Francisco de Peñalosa in 1528. This latter hypothesis is in line with the most common assumption, that E-TZ 2/3 was copied in the first third of the 16th century. She has also tentatively proposed that the manuscript could have been copied for the household of the infante Ferdinand (later Ferdinand I, Holy Roman Emperor).

These theories do not preclude some of the repertory from a Sevillian origin, as shown by Ruiz Jiménez 2005. However, a Sevillian origin of the manuscript based on the identity of the scribes of E-TZ 2/3 and E-Sco 5-5-20 (as posited by Carl Manns in the Census Catalogue, 1986) must be rejected. Freund Schwartz 2001 has proved that the scribes are not the same, therefore rendering the hypothesis invalid. 

Originally conceived as one volume but separated into two volumes (Ms. 2 and Ms. 3) before 1550, or 1570, in Tarazona Cathedral; bound as a single volume again in 2002. Before 1930, ff. 58-61 were excised and they constitute now manuscript E-Bbc M 1167.
