Zarlino, Gioseffo Dimostrationi harmoniche: nelle quali realmente si trattano le cose della musica ... opera. Venice: Francesco dei Franceschi, 1571. First edition, folio, mostly italic letter, some Roman, occasional Greek, printer's allegorical device of 'Peace' on title-page, woodcut initials and decorations, diagrams throughout, modern vellum, all edges blue, marbled slipcase, light discoluration, occasional browning, a few leaves oxidized, several pages misnumbered [Zarlino himself apologises for this and gives an 'errata corrige' on p. vii] Note: BM STC Italian Books. p. 742; Adams Z 67; Brunet V p. 1528; Graesse VI p. 508; New York Public Library, Catalogue of the Music Collection Vol. 45 p. 553. Gaetano Gaspari, Catalogo della biblioteca del liceo musicale di Bologna (Bologna 1890) Vol. I pp. 267-68. Pietro Lichtental, Dizionario e bibliografia della Musica' (Milano, 1826) Vol. 4 pp. 276-87. See also Printing and the Mind of Man 81. First edition of Zarlino's second main treatise of music theory. The first was Le institutioni harmoniche (Venice 1558), a landmark in the history of music theory (New Grove). Dimostrationi harmoniche is of a highly speculative and scientific nature. It is in the form of a dialogue between Zarlino himself; three well-known musicians of the times (Franceso Viola, Choir Master of Alfonso d'Este, Duke of Ferrara; Claudio Merulo, organist of St. Mark's in Venice; and Adrian Willaert, Choir Master of the Venetian Republic and Zarlino's teacher); and a fourth, probably fictional, character, the philosopher Desiderio from Pavia. 1519-1590), Zarlino, theorist and composer, typifies the Venetian intellectual world of the 16th century. Ordained in 1541, he had a wide linguistic, philosophical, scientific and artistic culture. The publication of his first music treatise Le institutioni harmoniche earned him high praises and, in 1565, appointment as Choir Master of St. Mark's. Not a prolific composer (his only practical work is the learned and polished 'Modulationes VI Vocum' 1566), he was however the leading counterpoint theorist of the 16th century.

WALTER SALTER HERRICK (Exh. 1852-1880) viola (Twelfth Night) with inscription and date 1872 on the reverse oil on canvas 21 1/2 x 16in (54.6 x 40.6cm) possibly the work exhibited by the artist at the Royal Academy in 1872 and which was engraved by W.B. Gardner "Viola is certainly one of the most lovable of Shakespeare's heroines; and according to Mr Herrick, the artist whose picture we engrave from the Academy exhibition, she is also one of the most paintable . She is beautiful, yet full of sweet graceful humility; wit (sic) an intelligence beam in her bright eyes, yet her mien(sic) is engaging and harmless; and we know that her love for the Duke, into whose service she entered disguised as a page named Cesario, was tender, constant, and true, even before the momentary danger of death. The artist helps us, we think, to realise such a character as she stands before the Duke uttering the lines quoted in the catalogue from the fourth scene of the second act of 'Twelfth Night': "My father had a daughter loved a man, as it might be, perhaps, were I a woman, i should your lordship'." illustrated London News 20th July, 1872, p.52 ff

An Important Bass Viola da Gamba by Thomas Collingwood London 1680 retaining its original label Made by Thos. Collingwood and [in script and printed below] Sold by John Miller over-against the Fleece Tavern in Corn-hill 1680 the flat two-piece back of horizontal narrow curl with double-purfled edge and extensive lozenge and arrow-shaped inlaid decoration the ribs of medium curl the table of medium grain and inlaid with an elaborate fleur-de-lys foliate design cross-hatched with point d'aiguille the varnish of a golden-brown colour later neck and pegbox set for six strings the latter terminating in the original open scroll later fingerboard and tailpiece body length 27 in. (68.6 cm.) string length 26 1/4 in. (66.6 cm.) * This instrument has some repaired woodworm damage. However there can be very few surviving examples by this maker and the restoration is almost certainly the work of the highly respected Dietrich Kessler whose name is stamped on the bridge. It is in immediate playing condition. This is probably the gamba recorded in The British Violin (BVMA 2000) p.45. In the book the label is identical except that the name of the seller is recorded as John Fuller. In the present case the label is indistinct but the restorer has placed a transcription of his reading of it next to the original. Provenance: Peter & Ann Davies Collection
