Quinta pars. Continuation du mellange d'Orlande de Lassus. A 3. 4. 5. 6. & dix parties.
A 1584 Paris part-book of polyphonic chansons by Orlande de Lassus, published by Adrian Le Roy for singers and musicians. The pages show five-line staff music in black notation, each opening with a large ornamental woodcut initial letter with foliate and grotesque decoration. A designer could take the decorative capitals and the dense, rhythmic layout of the staves as models for historical typography and ornament.
