notes
The initials JR could be connected with those J.B.R embossed on the cover of the manuscript. An attribution to the French violist Jean Rousseau, hypothesis advanced by Hans Bol (La basse de viole du temps de Marin Marais et d'Antoine Forqueray, Bilthoven, A. B. Creyghton, 1973, p. 323), is strongly weakened by the use of the Polish language in the title.
