Augsburg

Theory book

This book imparts basic knowledge about the singing of chant. It was published in various editions by various printers. Fétis cites an edition printed at Straßburg by Knobloch in 1506. This is not attested elsewhere, and is thus probably an error. For the first Augsburg edition printed in 1498 see vdm 1326.

Woodcut on the title page (c. 90 x 90 mm): Pythagoras and Lady Musica standing in front of a wheel with cymbals. Pythagoras holds a hammer and a banner with the solmization sylablles. The Lady has a stick in her left hand and touches the wheel with the other hand. On her right is another banner with the inscription: “Ach muß mir selbs frewd machen || wā schwartze varb wert mir lachen” (“Oh, I must make pleasure for myself when black complexion [i.e. melancholia] laughs at me”). The same illustration is used in the early Augsburg edition from 1498 (vdm 1326).
