About the Authors

This collection of essays investigates the work of Heinrich Glarean, one of the most influential humanists and music theorists of the sixteenth century. For the first time, Glarean's musical writings, including his masterwork the Dodekachordon, are considered in the wider context of his work in a variety of disciplines such as musicology, history, theology and geography. Contributors reference books from Glarean's private library, including rare and previously unseen material, to explore his strategies and impact as a humanist author and university teacher. The book also uses other newly discovered source material such as course notes written by students and Glarean's preparations for his own lectures to offer a fascinating picture of his reactions to contemporary debates. Providing a detailed analysis of Glarean's library as reconstructed from the surviving copies, Heinrich Glarean's Books offers new and exciting perspectives on the multidisciplinary work of an accomplished intellectual.
- Reconsiders Glarean's profile as music theorist against a comprehensive picture of his intellectual activities, offering the first seriously interdisciplinary approach to his person and work
- Explores the intellectual contexts of Glarean's music theory and proposes a reading of music theory as part of general intellectual history
- Provides in-depth studies of Glarean's working methods, based on the reconstruction of his library and detailed analyses of annotated books
