Giovanni Gallico: Ritus canendi vetustissimus et novus..Edizione critica

Abstract
The theoretician and Carthusian monk Johannes Gallicus († 1473) was educated in Walloon schools and at Vittorino da Feltre’s Ca’ Zoiosa in Mantua. In his treatise Ritus canendi vetustissimus et novus (1458-1464), he sought to reform musical learning by restoring the ideal balance between theory and practice, that had been achieved between the time of Boethius (6th century) and Guido of Arezzo (11th century).
