The Stringed Instruments of the Middle Ages - Their Evolution and Development

Descripción

1971. Reprint. ix, 511pp., frontispiece, 403 figures within the text, and a 28-page publisher's catalogue. Hortense Charlotte Anine Panum (1856-1933) was a Danish music historian who taught in the early 20th century at the Danish Folk University and the Royal Danish Academy of Music. The present book is probably her most important work, and was first published in Danish in 1928. The first English edition was published in 1940. It is a detailed and comprehensive history, with illustrations, of the evolution of the medieval stringed musical instruments from their first appearance in the records of the earliest civilizations, through their gradual development in the Greek, Roman and Christian eras down to more recent times. The book is bound in the original blue cloth covered boards with gold titling on the spine. The case of the book is in very good condition with bumping to the spine ends and some patchy damp fading to the spine. The contents are tight and clean with no inscription. The unclipped dustwrapper has some shelf wear with light soiling and a faint water stain down part of the front spine edge. The spine ends are bumped with nicks at the top of the spine.
