Description

"Music was an important element of cultural life throughout the Middle Ages. Most of our knowledge of medieval music comes from surviving manuscripts, almost all of them connected in some way with the church. This book shows a selection from the British Library's rich manuscript collections.". "The history of music writing is covered from the earliest times until the fifteenth century, and the beautiful and often entertaining pictures of musicians in manuscripts show how music was performed."--BOOK JACKET.
