Meslanges de la musique de Clau. Le Jeune a 4. 5. 6. 8. & 10. parties. Superius.
A 1587 Paris part-book of polyphonic French chansons by Claude Le Jeune, published by Adrian Le Roy, printed for singers taking the superius line in four to ten voice parts. The pages show black-letter-style decorated initial capitals with foliate ornament beside staff notation and French text set under the notes, with the staves engraved in dense, evenly spaced rows. A designer could take the historic printed-music layout, with its ornamental drop caps, spacious staff rhythm and tidy text-to-note alignment, as a model for classical typographic framing.
