Music Types combined with Lettre de Forme, used by Attaingnant, Paris

From a copy in the Boston Athenæum

1532

The masses which follow are printed in one impression, with the words beneath in lettre de forme, the notes being lozenge shaped, sometimes closed, sometimes open. The music types are so large and bold that the effect of these great pages is extremely imposing. The volume is a folio of 530 pages of considerable rarity.
