• Chicago, Newberry Library MS VM 350 B113t (Bass part missing); a set of three part books owned by Bruce Gustafson and formerly in the possession of W. H. Cummings; and a set belonging to Christopher Hogwood, of which only the first treble partbook survives. The other known manuscripts in Babel's hand are as follows: Rochester University, Sibley Music Library Vault M1490 B113 (recently discovered by Peter Holman), containing music for one and two recorders; Paris, Bibliothèque Nationale MS Rés. Vma MS 967 and Oxford, Bodleian Library MS Mus. Sch. E. 393, both containing Italian songs with unfigured bass; and a full score of Bononcini's La Camilla Triomfante in the Powell Collection, University College of Wales, Aberystwyth. I am grateful to Bruce Gustafson for allowing me to include in this list manuscripts he himself has identified as being in Babel's hand.
