Opis

This path-breaking account of music's role in Venice's Mediterranean empire sheds new light on the city's earliest musical history.

Recenzje

'This is one of the most important and original books in medieval studies to appear in recent years. The history of music in Venice in the period from 1200 to 1400 has remained relatively unexplored until now. Reuland's discoveries show just how important a role music played in the political and colonial development of the city. The beautifully written book will be of equal interest to musicologists, historians, and art historians. A major tour de force.' Anna Maria Busse Berger, University of California, Davis
