Book excerpt: Excerpt from Literary Sources of Secular Music in Italy (Ca. 1500) The flood of verses in this vein is preserved for us in musical setting not only in the eleven books of frottole published by Ottaviano Petrucci between the years 1504 and 1514 in Venice and Fossombrone, but also in a great many contemporary manuscripts and prints.4 From the plenitude of source material I have attempted to segregate and identify works by men of accepted literary rank, whose verses were obviously exemplary to the layman.
