Description

This scholarly survey examines the early ownership and provenance of music published in England between the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries by analysing handwritten inscriptions and traces left by original owners in surviving copies. David Greer investigates who purchased foundational works such as Byrd's Psalmes, sonets, & songs (1588) and Dowland's First booke of songes (1597), tracing the composition of personal music libraries through material evidence embedded in the books themselves. By studying manuscript annotations, marginalia, and ownership marks, this work reconstructs the reading and collecting practices of early modern music enthusiasts, revealing how printed music circulated among England's educated classes during this formative period. The book combines bibliographic analysis with historical research to illuminate the cultural significance of these artefacts and the networks of musicians, patrons, and collectors who shaped early English musical culture.
