  • Keyboard manuscript, almost certainly English, attributed to an "R. Cr.", who signs and dates several pieces. Nowhere does this copyist write his name in full. On an later scrap of paper pasted to an endpage, there is a list (in a different hand to the copyist) of composers in the manuscript, including this entry: "probably transcribed some composed by Dr R. Creigton. 1635." The only Dr. R. Creig[h]ton that fits this date would be Robert Creighton (1593-1672), later Bishop of Bath and Wells, and father of the composer Robert Creighton (c.1639-1734).
In the (19th century) French contents list, the name is given as "Richard(?) Creigton".
