Mary Lewis
"This study will stand, when completed, as the major reference work
on Gardano's music editions for many years to come and will be the
mark against which the work of future bibliographers of Renaissance
music printers and publishers will be measured." -- Journal of the
American Musicological Society
"The catalog maintains a high level of accuracy... Lewis lists
nearly 120 editions, providing for the first time detailed
information on the spread of music during a critical stage in the
history of Renaissance musical style and dissemination. If this
decade . . . is significant for establishing patterns of
musicmaking in Italy that would last for many years, it is the
virtue of Lewis's book that she presents the necessary evidence,
allowing us to see those patterns and guiding us to the surviving
printed evidence." -- MLA Notes
