Talk:Excellentiss. autorum liber primus quatuor vocum

Another edition?

I am confused. OPAC.RISM refers back to 1538⁴ – seems to be an earlier edition – and talks about 5 volumes. Also, are the other (2 or 4) volumes here already? What are their titles? — Barry Johnston (talk) 14:51, 20 September 2021 (UTC)

1538⁴ is the first volume of 'Motetti del Frutto', which contains motets for five voices. There are three volumes in this series: this page (four voices), Primus liber cum quinque vocibus - Mottetti del frutto (Antonio Gardano) (five voices), and Motetti del frutto a sei voci (Antonio Gardano) (six voices). The reason OPAC refers to 1538⁴ is that that's their page where they lay out the series. The reason they say '5 vols.' off the top, is that that volume was published as five partbooks. Later on in the paragraph they list the three volumes of the series with all their reprints. I am certainly in favour of standardizing the names and providing cross-links on each page to the other members of the series. I have already listed and linked them from the Antonio Gardano page. — GeoffG (talk) 15:23, 20 September 2021 (UTC)

Thank you so much. Now I understand, and appreciate your work. — Barry Johnston (talk) 16:30, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
