Cloth-covered boards, signature-sewn. "A new critical text and translation on facing pages, with an introduction, annotations, and indices verborum and nominum et rerum." Note that the text is reproduced from a typescript. A beautiful clean copy bound in real cloth. Strong binding and hinges. Gilt titles unfaded. I believe this book was issued without any dustjacket. Faint pencil mark corner front endpaper, else no marks. A little creasing at foot of spine, with a hint of wear to extremities. Boards ever so slightly bowed.

About this title

Synopsis

In the Contrapunctus (1412) Prosdocimo surveys the practice of counterpoint and musica ficta, codifying each in six rules. Unlike most of his contemporaries, who were satisfied merely to state their rules, Prosdocimo justified his, making the treatise a primer of the musical aesthetics of his time.
