ProfKwasniewski

Lovers of obscure Gregorian chant should have a look at this treasury of Marian music:

This was also interesting, speaking of ancient music. I hope non-subscribers to Smithsonian can access this link.

Not quite that rare. I have a copy (the 7th edition) from 1929.

ProfKwasniewski

"Rare" is a relative term, no?

It's not a book you can typically find out there in the used book market.

Cantus Mariales is of course also available in .pdf on archive.org here.

ProfKwasniewski

Have you looked at that PDF? The fellow who put it there says: "I couldn't check out the book, so I photographed the pages." And it looks like it.

I'm looking forward to someone coming along and re-typesetting the whole book. But until that time, it's good to have a handy edition available.

I would not have allowed the PDF to go up. Thanks Dr. K.

I'm looking forward to someone coming along and re-typesetting the whole book.

Some of us do that!

If anyone is interested, a seller in France has the original book up for sale on eBay:

If you want the book retypeset I'm more than happy to do it.

I will probably do an Afrikaans version :) I have a copy of this book somewhere.

Just found on GoogleBooks another scan of Cantus Mariales, HERE. This copy appears to be from 1906, but I'm otherwise not detecting much difference.

Simon

This is not really rare - many editions are probably available. I have 3.

I would prefer to have an electronic version. I no longer buy books, but I do hoard pdfs. And I would love to have a GOOD pdf of Cantus Mariales.
