The catalogue presents a complete survey of the surviving autographs of Handel's music - more than 7,500 leaves in the composer's hand, written in Italy, Germany and Britain over a period of nearly 50 years. Works and movements for which autographs survive are identified, and essential information about the physical characteristics are recorded, including the watermark type for each leaf of paper, the types of rastra (stave ruling) employed and the presence of pencil annotations. All watermark types are illustrated with full-size diagrams.
