This volume explores the means and motives for the distribution of
music during the Renaissance. Music in the fifteenth century was
available almost exclusively through manuscript copies, while the
introduction of the printing of polyphonic music at the beginning
of the sixteenth century profoundly changed the circulation of
music.The essays discuss both the technical side of the production
of sources as well as their roles in the society in which they were
produced and cover a wide range of issues including: the activities
of scribes and the making of manuscripts; the role of politics in
the transmission of repertories; the influence of patrons and
collectors; the impact of music printing; the nature and effects of
both multiple-impression and single-impression techniques; and the
financial side of music printing. Taken together, these essays
reveal the critical changes wrought by the transition from
manuscript to print during this period.
