- W2324151029 abstract "The Music Division of the Library of Congress contains some of the Library's richest materials, and the Library generally regards with pride the comprehensive and valuable research collection in the field of music that has been built up under the able direction of the chiefs who have administered that Division from its earliest beginnings. By the very nature of the complex organization of the institution, however, it has not been possible to concentrate all of the Library's music materials in the one Division. Occasionally the references to music in a particular volume may not be its major element and accordingly the work has not been classified as a volume of music. Frequently the Library has accepted gifts of collections of a general content with the understanding that their integrity would not be violated; similarly the Library has made purchases of other general collections which again it has deemed wiser to maintain as integral units rather than to disperse them. A few people have long been aware of many of the musical titles and other volumes of musical interest in the custody of the Library's Rare Books Division, but since many of these books are not included in either Julia Gregory's Catalogue of Early Books on Music (before 1800) (Washington, 1913) or the supplement by Hazel Bartlett, published in 1944, their existence is often overlooked by music scholars. It is at the insistence of these scholars that we promised to prepare a short paper on the early music books published prior to 1521, which for one reason or another are shelved in the Library's Rare Books Division. The oldest volume of musical interest is a manuscript on vellum of Bartholomaeus Anglicus' De proprietatibus rerum, described as number 129 of the Library's manuscripts recorded in the Seymour de Ricci and William J. Wilson Census of Medieval and Renaissance Manuscripts in the United States (New York, 1935). Dated about 1400, the manuscript was written in France; it came into the Library's possession in 1933. The final leaves of this encyclopedic work contain several chapters on modulation and various types of early musical instruments, (i.e., tuba, buccina, tibia, sambuca, symphonia, cithara, lira, cimbala, sistrum, and tintinnabulum). This work because of its varied and informative content enjoyed an enormous popularity as is demonstrated by the many early printed editions" @default.
