Unlocks the secrets behind the images and music of an important
Spanish musical manuscript compiled for a brotherhood of suspected
heretics ca. 1500. The Rosary Cantoral is a rare and beautifully
decorated manuscript of Latin plainchant for the Catholic Mass
compiled in Toledo, Spain, around the year 1500. In an engaging and
richly interdisciplinary essay, Lorenzo Candelaria approaches the
Rosary Cantoral as a cultural artifact, unlocking the secrets
behind its images and music to reveal the social history and
rituals of an elite brotherhood dedicated to the rosary and aspects
of the religious communityit served: the Dominicans of San Pedro
Martir de Toledo. The Rosary Cantoral: Ritual and Social Design in
a Chantbook from Early Renaissance Toledo presents a model for
realizing the fuller significance of illuminatedmusic manuscripts
as cultural artifacts and offers unprecedented insights into the
social and devotional life of Toledo, Spain, around the turn of the
sixteenth century. After solving the mystery of the Rosary
Cantoral's origins,subsequent essays probe the meaning and cultural
significance of the manuscript's iconography (including a border
decoration after Albrecht Durer), its rare Spanish chants for the
Mass, and two striking musical works for multiplevoices (one by
Josquin Desprez and another on "L'homme arme"). Ultimately, this
book focuses on the extraordinary circumstances that engendered the
compilation of the Rosary Cantoral around 1500: a system of
patronage between a brotherhood of suspected heretics and a
religious house that was a key supporter of the Inquisition in
Toledo. Lorenzo Candelaria (University of Texas at Austin) is
co-author of American Music: A Panorama.
