Simpson, Christopher: The Saraband Simpson

The Saraband Simpson is a new edition (July 2009), using the Royal College of Music's copy of The Division Violist and its divisions, with the British Library's copy of The Division Viol. Added to this is a new introduction (with references) written by Patrice Connelly, and a newly edited collection of divisions, many of which came from seventeenth century copies of Simpson as handwritten addenda to the owner's cherished copy. A majority of these divisions came from the Bodleian Library in Oxford, but the RCM copy was also used. These divisions also come with a critical commentary. A brief note is included about the process of cleaning the facsimiles and some interesting markings in the RCM Division Violist.
