Abstract

The four Milanese Libroni, prepared during Franchinus Gaffurius’s tenure as chapel master at the Duomo, rank among the most important manuscripts of sacred polyphony at the turn of the fifteenth century. Their interest, notably as the only extant sources of Milan’s flourishing musical scene under the Sforzas, has been widely recognized. In spite, however, of the attention raised in the musicological community by Jeppesen’s brief essay of 1931 and by the facsimiles published in the 1960s and 1980s, the manuscripts have never been thoroughly studied. The present book discloses the results of an interdisciplinary investigation conducted within the Polifonia Sforzesca Research Project (funded by the SNF at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis in 2018–2020), in conjunction with the full digitization of the sources. Combining archival evidence (Filippi) with palaeographic and codicological data (Pantarotto, Filippi) and with a mapping of the contained repertoire (Cassia, Pavanello), the volume provides fresh elements regarding the making and the dating of the Libroni, clarifies Gaffurius’s role as the mastermind of the operation, and better situates the manuscripts in the contemporary landscape of copying, collecting, and circulating polyphonic music.
