A propos de cet article

8vo., pp. xii, 347, [1], complete with half-title (bound here after the title) and four folding engraved plates of tables and music, some musical notation in the text; old ownership inscription at head of title scratched away (a small hole resulting), slightly toned throughout, withal a good copy in nineteenth-century calf, rubbed, rebacked preserving most of the old spine; armorial bookplate of Joseph Gwilt.First edition, based largely on the Dictionnaire de Musique of Sébastien de Brossard and the musical articles in Chambers's Cyclopaedia, with some original material. One of two variant issues, this has 'A' on the title-page above the 'i' in 'Dictionary'.Grassineau's Dictionary 'contains much of interest and ranks as the first work of its kind in English' (Grove).

Pepusch, who employed Grassineau as secretary and amanuensis, provides an admiring testimonial on the verso of the half-title ('worthy the perusal of all Lovers of Musick'), a testimonial subscribed also by Maurice Greene (then Master of the King's Music) and Johann Ernst Galliard; all three were founding members of the Academy of Ancient Music. Language: English.…
