Mvsicae epitome ex Glareani Dodechordo vna tum qvinqve melodiis svper eivsdem Glareani Panegyrico de Helveticarum XIII urbium Laudibus
This is a 1559 Basel music theory treatise by Henricus Glareanus, a compact epitome of his Dodecachordon with musical examples, printed by Hieronymus Curio and published by Heinrich Petri. The pictures are mostly staff-ruled pages of notation: diagrammatic tables of intervals with labelled rows, and printed polyphonic examples with clefs, note heads and running headers. A designer might draw on their dense, regular grids of lines, notes and small labels as a source for ordered pattern and typographic texture.
