Two Letters on Music of Giovanni Battista Benedetti to Cipriano de Rore. Part II: Transcription and Translation into English

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: In two letters written to the famous musician Cipriano de Rore, Giovanni Battista Benedetti discussed topics related to musical theory. The letters were published in the Diversarum speculationum mathematicarum et physicarum liber of 1585. Despite their great relevance, though, no modern translation of the letters from the original Latin into a contemporary language in full has been attempted. This paper intends to fill this gap by presenting a semidiplomatic transcription and a faithful translation into English.
