Routledge MS Florence Biblioteca Nazionale - Musical Monograph

This scholarly monograph offers a comprehensive bibliographical and codicological analysis of Manuscript Florence, Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale, Magliabechiana XIX, 164-167 (FlorBN Magl. 164-7), a significant source of early sixteenth-century musical study. Long assumed to be a Florentine source, recent scholarship has challenged this consensus, suggesting more complex provenance and Roman connections indicated by specific codicological features. Published by Routledge as part of the Royal Musical Association Monographs series, this volume provides the most thorough examination of FlorBN Magl. 164-7 currently available, presenting detailed evidence that reshapes understanding of the manuscript's origins and historical context. Essential for musicologists, palaeographers, and researchers specialising in Renaissance music sources and manuscript transmission.
