The Fitzwilliam
Virginal Book is a primary source of keyboard music from the late Elizabethan
and early Jacobean periods in England, i.e., the late Renaissance and very
early Baroque. It takes its name from Viscount Fitzwilliam who bequeathed this
manuscript collection to Cambridge University in 1816. It is now housed in the
Fitzwilliam Museum at Cambridge. The word virginals does not necessarily denote
any specific instrument and might refer to any instrument with a keyboard.
