http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/49657558

Music manuscript copy of the full score of Handel's oratorio "Joseph," probably in the hand of John Christopher Smith (the elder). This volume is no. 10 in a series made for (Frederick) Prince of Wales about 1745. An engraving by Heath - The Apotheosis of Handel (1787) - has been inserted later as a frontispiece. The contents are as in the Arnold edition except in part III where the air "Tho' on Rapid Whirlwinds" and the recitative "Already there retaken" are omitted.

1 vocal score (274 p.) : paper ; 37 cm.
