Livre de melanges de C. le Jeune. Superius.
This is a 1585 Antwerp printing by Christophe Plantin of Claude Le Jeune's mixed-song collection, the superius partbook for singers, with polyphonic music in black type across staves. Pages show decorated historiated initials and a single voice part per page, with ornamental capitals opening each section. A designer could draw on the ornate woodcut-style initials, the clean staff-and-note layouts, and the dense typographic rhythm of Renaissance music printing.
