SC - OT, OOP: Stolen Music Manuscripts in the Canary Islands

[Alderton, Philippa]

Good gentles, there are some stolen goods which may come our way, since we
are into early stuff, and I feel it is only right that we are aware of
these items and on the look out for them. All contact info is in the
message.

Never a horse that cain't be rode,
And never a rider that cain't be throwed.

: >Dear list members,
: >
: >It has recently been discovered that more than 400 music manuscripts
have 
: >been stolen from the archive in Las Palmas Cathedral, (The Canary 
: >Islands, Spain). They include most of the works by resident 17th-century 
: >composers (generally unique originals) as well as a number of pieces by 
: >composers from the Iberian Peninsula.
: >
: >The police and local authorities have been notified, and there is a fear 
: >that the robbers might try to sell the manuscripts in the international 
: >antiquarian market. Although measures will be taken to notify the 
: >relevant authorities, the president of the Fundacion Universitaria de
Las 
: >Palmas, Dr. Lothar Siemens, has asked me to forward this information to 
: >the music academic community, in the hope that widespread knowledge of 
: >the event will prevent illegal trade.
: >
: >Some of the composers (listed below) appear very rarely in archives
other 
: >than Las Palmas. Therefore, in the event that any of their manuscripts
is 
: >comes out in the market, it would be most likely that they are part of 
: >the stolen archive.
