Le institutioni harmoniche - Zarlino, Gioseffo 1517-1590; Fenlon, Iain; Da Col, Paolo (Bologna Forni, 2008)
This dissertation is the first version of the dedication, prologue, and Part 1 of Gioseffo Zarlino's Le istitutioni harmoniche with parallel texts in Italian (1558 edition) and English. Changes made in the 1573 edition, including Zarlino's marginal notes, appear as footnotes to the Italian text. In footnotes to the English translation I have provided definitions, identified lesser-known authorities cited by Zarlino, worked out mathematical examples, or explained choices of translation.
