1513 · Venetijs, p[er] dñm Lucantoniu de Giunta Florentinu[um] · 47 pictures

This is a 1513 Venetian printed music primer, issued by Lucantonio de Giunta of Florence, teaching church plainchant to choir singers and those serving divine worship. Its pictures are close views of printed chant pages with red staff lines, black square notes, and decorated initial letters, showing how Renaissance typesetters combined woodcut ornament with printed text and music that a designer could borrow for ornamental capitals and rule lines.
