Ars Renovata, 1. Lucca, 2026. 24 x
32 cm, 2 vols, x, 429, 108 pp.
The first issue of the series “Ars
Renovata”, a two volume work
consisting of introductory studies by
14 scholars and a color facsimile
manuscript reconstruction. The musical
fragments of the San Gaudenzo III
manuscript, preserved in the Rimini
State Archives, represent the most
remarkable case to date of the
dismemberment and reuse, for binding
purposes, of a medieval collection of
secular music composed at the
Malatesta court between the 14th and
15th centuries. Altogether 179 strips
of parchment (bearing music), 40 cm
long and 4-5 cm high, were recovered a
16th c. register of rent collection
relating to the Rimini Abbey's lands,
and painstakingly reassembled and
photographed. 85 incipits have been
identified and positively traced to P.
des Molins, Giovanni Da Cascia,
Gherardello da Firenze, Guillaume Du
Fay, Francesco Landini, Pierre
Fontaine, Lorenzo Masini, Iacopo de
Bologna, Ser Feo, Nicolas Grenon,
Johannes Ciconia, Bartolino da Padova,
Andrea dei Servi, Guglielmo di
Francia, Giovanni da Cascia, Cardot,
Piero, and others (30 incipits are
Landini alone). Hardbound. c.$545
