Summary
This appendix contains bibliographical entries for each of the publications produced by Thomas Morley and William Barley as printers. It includes the following information:
• A transcription of the title page, with vertical marks showing line breaks.
• A description of title page borders, ornaments and compartments, including any relevant references found in standard books on the subject. Where the term ‘fleuron’ is used, borders and ornaments are made up of repeating pieces of an abstract floral design. In all cases in Appendices 4 and 5, the printers use the same design.
• Paper characteristics:
• Paper size. This is not the physical page size as most copies have been trimmed successively when rebound. Instead it is a suggestion of the size of the original sheets used for printing. Several standard paper sizes were available in Europe in the sixteenth century, of which two are commonly used for music prints: pot (c. 400–405mm x 305–315mm) and crown (c. 600mm x 440–460mm). A further intermediate size, foolscap or Italian flag (c. 430mm x 313–330mm) is also a possibility. The names derive from the watermarks commonly used, although papers of these sizes are also found with different watermarks. Where a paper has a pot or crown watermark, it is assumed to be of that size; otherwise the tentative size has been arrived at by identifying the smallest of these sheets that could have been used to produce surviving examples of the print.
