Manuscript Florence, Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale, Magliabechiana
XIX, 164-167 (FlorBN Magl. 164-7) has been the subject of
considerable scholarly attention. The prevailing assumption had
been that it was a Florentine source of the early sixteenth
century. More recently, it has been argued that its provenance is
not as easily determined as it first appears, and that there are
Roman connections suggested by one of its codicological features.
This monograph provides as full a bibliographical and codicological
report on FlorBN Magl. 164-7 as is currently possible. Such
evidence suggests that the earlier thesis is more likely to be
correct: the manuscript was copied in Florence c.1520. After a
review of the evidence for provenance and date, the repertory of
the manuscript is placed in its historical and cultural context.
Florence of the early sixteenth century is shown to have an
organized cultural life that was characterized by the activities of
such institutions as the Sacred Academy of the Medici, the famous
group that met in the garden of the Rucellai, and others. FlorBN
Magl. 164-7 is an exceedingly interesting and important source; an
eclectic repository not only of compositionally advanced settings
of Petrarchan verse by Rucellai-group intimate Bernardo Pisano but
also of sharply contrasting works, popular in character. It is
almost a manifesto of the sensibilities of preeminent Florentine
cultural figures of the sort who frequented the garden of the
Rucellai and as such is a revealing document of Florentine musical
taste during those crucial years that witnessed the emergence of
the new secular genre we know as the Italian madrigal.
