La illuminata de tutti tuoni di canto fermo : con alcuni bellissimi secreti, non d'altrui piu scritti
A 1562 Venetian music treatise printed by Antonio Gardane, compiled by Illuminato Aiguino for singers and students of plainchant, with notes on Gregorian chant and secret methods. The pages show staff notation of square black chant notes on five-line staves, dense in blocks and rows, with one woodcut historiated initial of two riders on horseback in a bordered frame, a plain and useful reference for early printed music layout and decorative capitals.
