Bassus. Sizieme livre de pseaumes de David. Mis en musique a quatre parties en forme de motetz. Par Claude Goudimel.
This is a 1565 Paris part book of Claude Goudimel's four-voice motet settings of the Psalms, printed by Robert Ballard for singers of the bass part. The pictures are sixteenth-century engraved music staves with French text under the notes, decorative initial letters with grotesque creatures, a small ornamental device with masks and swags, and an architectural title page framed by scrollwork, cartouches and putti, all useful as references for Renaissance printed ornament and typographic layout.
