A sumptuous, illuminated gradual, in its charming, well-preserved original contemporary Florentine binding. It was produced in 1584 at the Dominican Convent of La Crocetta, one of the wealthiest in Florence, enjoying the patronage of the Medici, by a nun named Catherine who stated her scribal efforts in the colophon, and is recorded to have copied nearly 180 such mss.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A stunning and meticulously prepared manuscript with guitar tablature, illustrated in colour and gilt, with a dedication to Madame de Pompadour, most probably made for presentation to her. The manuscript is dedicated by a \u2018Le Beau\u2019 and is also signed in the colophon by him. The majority of the songs, however, are works by Jean-Benjamin La Borde.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two very scarce Italian music scores, printed in Flanders. Petrus Phalesius the Younger (1545-1629) was the second of a family of Flemish music printers and booksellers.

Exceptionally rare copies of the first and only editions of these \u201csongs for drinking and dancing\u201d by Jean Boyer. These two collections of drinking and dancing songs belong to an authentically French genre, a light-hearted derivative of the \u2018Air de cour\u2019 a secular court song, which became one of the most important vocal genres in the first third of the 17th century. Among the remaining collections of drinking and dancing songs of the period, Boyer\u2019s are probably the most interesting both rhythmically and harmonically, and the texts he chooses to set to music are generally more refined than those of many of his contemporaries.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
