Contratenor. Sizieme livre de pseaumes de David. Mis en musique a quatre parties en forme de motetz. Par Claude Goudimel.
A 1565 Paris music book printed by Robert Ballard, setting Claude Goudimel's four-part motets on David's Psalms in the contratenor voice part, with the title page and staff notation. Its pages show five-line staves with black-note music, and large decorated woodcut initial letters (a grotesque C, a historiated S and an ornamental M) with foliate scrollwork, figures and text blocks set beneath them, a design source for historical ornament and typographic framing.
