From the Paper:

"I chose the article "Music-Selling in Late Sixteenth-Century Florence: The Bookshop of Piero Di Giuliano Morosi" for my fifth literature report because I was very interested in early music printing when this information was lectured on during our early music class. While Professor MacNeil was lecturing on this topic, I was intrigued and very interested in learning more about the history of music printing and I thought this would be a great way to do it. The development of music printing was one of the most important technological developments because of the ability to record music for history and to spread musical ideas between many people. Through this article, I believe that my knowledge of early music printing and selling will be further developed."
