Cover of Music, print and culture in early sixteenth-century Italy

In this illustrated study, Iain Fenlon examines the impact of the spread of printing on the publication of music in early sixteenth-century Italy, the place where the first collections of polyphonic music were printed and where the market for those books was originally created. Music, Print and Culture in Early Sixteenth-Century Italy is the published record of the tenth series of Panizzi Lectures, delivered at The British Library by Dr Iain Fenlon in autumn 1994.
