The innovative work in design, typography, and content of music printer and publisher Ottaviano Petrucci (1446-1539) became the standard by which all following printers measured themselves. He created the defining moment when Italy took the lead in book printing in the Renaissance.

This book is a bibliographic study of the output of the Petrucci presses, laying emphasis on the professional career of Petrucci. It includes a detailed study of technique and house-style, examining the market forces that drove Petrucci's publishing decisions, and provides a detailed catalogue of editions and copies. Stanley Boorman has made a study of the output of Petrucci's presses for 25 years. This long-awaited contribution to the field of bibliography will have an audience both in music and in rare book bibliography.

Reviews for Ottaviano Petrucci: Catalogue Raisonne

...a highly original, synthetic contribution to music bibliography with important implications for all the larger fields into which it fits... In fact, it is a better and more detailed bibliographical study than we have ever before seen of any music printer or publisher. Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America, vol. 101, no. 2 ...a significant, indeed an indispensable tool. It is a model case study in analytical music bibliography.
