![Folio. [ii], port., [xiix], 695p. PRINTED MUSIC THROUGHOUT, some tables, full-page etched full-figure portrait of the Virgin Mary with her symbols (C. de Beer after P. Perret). Early limp vellum (worn, wrinkled), remnants of four pigskin ties, ms. spine title.Only Edition: “das wichtigste erhaltene kirchenmusikalische theoretische Werk im spanischen Raum des 17. Jh.” (MGG). The “‘four arts’ — plainchant (including notation, modes and repertory), ‘organ chant’ (mensural notation, time and proportions), counterpoint (intervals, consonance and dissonance, and rules for part-writing) and composition (harmonic formulae, polyphonic modality and compositional styles) — are closely studied in accordance with Renaissance and Baroque theory. It is an erudite book…but it is also a practical work with numerous music examples, many of them interesting pieces by Lorente himself…of exceptional value…as a theoretical and practical reference book” (New Grove(2)). It is Spain’s “sole large-scale publishing effort in music theory in the 17th century” (Howell).
