The Montanus & Neuber catalogue of 1560:
prices, losses, and a new polyphonic music
edition from 1556
Royston Gustavson
Introduction
The importance of early catalogues to music bibliography, especially in identifying lost
editions, has long been known.1 Well-known examples of such studies include Albert
Göhler’s study of booksellers’ catalogues for the Frankfurt and Leipzig book fairs, Cath-
erine Chapman’s study of the catalogue of the book collector Ferdinand Columbus, and
Lawrence Bernstein’s study of music in Conrad Gesner’s Pandectae.2 Of the many types
of catalogues, printers’ catalogues are particularly valuable, since they permit analysis
of many salient data, for example, how long books remained in print, or which kinds of
books were less likely to be collected. Christian Coppens, who is working on a census of
publishers’ and booksellers’ catalogues up to 1600, has written that there survive about
eighty such editions published in Germany.3 There has been comparatively little study of
these catalogues in the musicological literature, with notable exceptions including Konrad
Ameln’s study of the Gerlach catalogue and my own study of the Egenolff catalogue.4 I
am currently undertaking a study of music editions in printers’ catalogues. Of the many
catalogues I have seen to date, by far the most interesting – besides those of Gerlach and
Egenolff – is that by the Nuremberg rm led by Johann vom Berg (Montanus) and Ulrich
Neuber. The rm of Montanus & Neuber was one of the major, if not indeed the major,
German music printing house of the mid-sixteenth century. Their catalogue is unusual in
that, like that of Gerlach, it has a section explicitly devoted to music, and even more unu-
sual in that it species for each item either printed prices or the number of printed sheets
in each copy of the edition. The present study of the catalogue, in addition to providing
further information on known editions, identies a number of lost editions and includes a
description of an extant anthology of polyphonic music from 1556 that has not previously
been noted in the literature.
The catalogue in the historical literature
The Montanus & Neuber catalogue does not appear in the VD16 or the USTC. The rst
reference to it in the literature occurs in Johann Ernesti’s Die Wol-eingerichtete Buchdruck-
ereÿ (1733). Ernesti, who saw an exemplar of the catalogue,5 transcribed the Latin part of
the title (only) and reproduced the book titles and prices of the folio volumes in Latin (fol.
2r), and all but the last two of the folio volumes in German (fol. 2r–v).6 Most subsequent
discussion of this catalogue, including that in the musicological literature until 2018, has
been based on Ernesti, and has stated that the catalogue is no longer extant.7 The next inde-
pendent reference to the catalogue was in 1793, in Georg Andreas Will’s Bibliotheca Norica
248 ROYSTON GUSTAVSON
Williana, in which he transcribed both the Latin and the German text on the title page.8 Al-
though Will’s exemplar of the catalogue was bequeathed, along with the rest of his library,
to the Stadtbibliothek Nürnberg, it was missing by 1888.9
Günter Richter’s 1974 catalogue of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century booksellers’ cat-
alogues identied an extant exemplar in the Staatsbibliothek Bamberg, and gave a bibli-
ographical description including title, signatures, collation, brief (four-line) description,
four items of literature (not including Will) and the holding library.10 Importantly, given his
deep knowledge of publishers’ catalogues, Richter noted that ‘[t]his index is particularly
noteworthy as an early example of a catalogue from the German-speaking area containing
prices and information about the size of books’.11 Richter also noted that an exact dating,
which he does not attempt to give, would require an examination of its content. The next
reference to the catalogue as extant, in 2002, is in a list of catalogues of Nuremberg publish-
ers and booksellers by Renate Jürgensen. Jürgensen transcribes the title and lists exemplars
in Nuremberg (which is not noted as missing) and Bamberg; her entry appears to be based
on Richter and on the Bibliotheca Norica Williana.12
Although my 2004 entry on ‘Montanus & Neuber’ in the print edition of MGG2 did
not include a list of music editions and noted that the catalogue was lost, my revised 2018
entry for MGG Online included a new work-list that drew in part on the Bamberg exemplar
of this catalogue.13

Colophon: [none]
Format: upright octavo14
Collation and blank pages: single gathering of eight leaves, 1v and 8r–v blank
Signatures: unsigned; leaves 2, 3, 4 and 5 numbered in the signature line in Arabic
numerals
Watermarks: crown with double contoured half-arches (but no monde), with pearls,
surmounted by a cloverleaf cross, chainlines c. 25 mm apart, split across leaves 2, 3, 6
and 7 on the upper inner margin and thus difcult to examine in detail15
Exemplars: D-BAs 22/H.l.d.5 (formerly D-BAs Gb.II.194); lost: D-Nst Will. VIII, 308
( missing by 1888)
Catalogues: not in VD16; not in USTC
The sole known extant exemplar is in the Staatsbibliothek Bamberg, shelfmark
22/H.l.d.5. It is in a new grey cardboard binding, with the endpaper consisting only of
a pastedown at the front and back, with the old and current catalogue numbers written
on the front pastedown. The exemplar has been heavily trimmed, and now measures be-
tween 134 mm (spine) and 136.5 mm (fore-edge) high, and 84 mm wide. The presence of
the signature lines suggests that nothing has been lost, despite the heavy trimming, as
nothing should be printed below each signature line. Stitching holes visible in the paper
on fol. 5–8 indicate that this exemplar was formerly in an earlier binding, and that when
it was rebound the stitching was not made in exactly the same place. The library stamp
‘Staats- Bibliothek Bamberg’ occurs on fol. 1v and fol. 7v. The exemplar shows early signs of
use. On the verso of the title page, numbers have been written in ink: 5, 6, 8, 10, 11, 13, 14,

12, 15, 16 and 5. Of particular interest is the inscription on fol. 8v which reads: ‘Eucharius
Schö[n]||man d[ono] d[edit] [i.e. gave as a gift] NE. || 3 Februarij || 1562. ||’ Schön-
mann was a deacon of St Jacob, Nuremberg, from 1562 to 1567.16
Overview of the catalogue
The catalogue, transcribed in full in Appendix 11.2, lists 190 book titles. For ease of ref-
erence, I have assigned each title a number that is made up of an editorial page number
followed by an editorial item number, e.g. ‘[10.04]’. The catalogue lists multi-volume edi-
tions as a single title, but usually species the number of volumes; for example, ‘Luther’s
commentary on Genesis, in four volumes’ (‘Quatuor Tomi Lutheri in Genesim’ [1.03]).
Sometimes further bibliographical information is hidden within a single entry; for exam-
ple, in the ‘Six volumes of the Gospels’ (‘Sex Tomi Evangeliorum’ [12.01]), each of the six
volumes consists of a set of partbooks, and so this one entry consists of a total of thirty
partbooks. On the other hand, ‘The evangelical citizen’s handbook’ (‘Des Evangelischen
Burgers Hand-Büchlin’ [6.20]) consists of two volumes, but the catalogue does not indicate
this. For the purposes of my analysis, I have counted each title only once, regardless of the
number of volumes: as a single price is given for each title, this clearly implies that they
were sold as a single unit.
The books are typically divided into sections by format, from folio to 32mo, and within
format by language (Latin, then German). The two exceptions are the section headed
‘Scholasticalia’ (‘School Books’), interposed between the Latin and German sections for
octavo as they are all in octavo format; and a separate section headed ‘Musici Libri’ (‘Music
Books’) on the nal page that is not further subdivided by format and language. It is very
unusual for a sixteenth-century German catalogue to have a section devoted to music; the
only other ones of which I am aware are those prepared by Gerlach (one catalogue that
was printed and one catalogue that is in manuscript).17 The ‘Musici Libri’ are all editions
of polyphonic music; music-theory books are listed under ‘Scholasticalia’, and books con-
taining one or more hymns (Kirchenlieder) appear in the relevant sections of the catalogue
according to format and language.
Each entry gives a short title, then in many cases the author, and nally either the price
or the number of sheets in the book (those for [3.08], [6.02], [6.06] and [7.09] are omitted,
apparently by error); the year of publication is not given. The inclusion of either a printed
price or the number of sheets for each book is unexpected. Coppens writes that ‘Cata-
logues with xed prices seem to be meant for retail, while catalogues listing the number of
sheets in the book but not prices certainly point to the wholesale market, where a large part
of the trade between booksellers was carried out by barter’.18 The printed prices appear to
be for ‘premium’ editions such as Latin folios and polyphonic music, and the number of
sheets for smaller formats such as school books. Perhaps this catalogue could serve both
functions: in addition to those given by Coppens, where number of sheets is given the
retail purchaser could be given the price per sheet to calculate the total price, and the xed
prices indicate to the wholesale market particular editions that were not available for trade
on a sheet-by-sheet basis.
It is important to note that fol. 8r–v is blank and so more titles could have been included
on these pages without extending the catalogue to more than eight leaves of octavo (that is, a
single printed sheet). There is thus no reason to believe that any available titles were omitted.
The catalogue is not dated. The presence of the manuscript date ‘3 February 1562’ in
the extant exemplar means that the catalogue must have been published before that date.
250 ROYSTON GUSTAVSON
I looked for Montanus & Neuber editions in standard bibliographies, searching for the
most recent edition of each title up to 1562, and noting whether or not they were included
in the catalogue. For example, all known polyphonic music editions from 1555–1560 were
included, but none of the three rst editions from 1561 and 1562. Again, the Montanus &
Neuber edition of the Deutsche musica (1560) by Martin Agricola that was enlarged and
edited by Wolfgang Figulus is included, but their only edition of Wilingseder’s Musica
teutsch (1561) was not. Of the 190 titles in the catalogue, the earliest extant Montanus &
Neuber edition of six titles dates from 1561 or later,19 and so it is reasonable to assume that,
for each of these titles, there were earlier lost Montanus & Neuber editions. As such, I have
assigned the catalogue a deduced date of 1560.
Analytical methodology
To analyse the catalogue, I set up a spreadsheet as follows. This allowed for multiple
ways of manipulating the data to better understand the relationships between the various
components:
• Catalogue page and assigned item number for each entry
• transcription of the entry itself
• author/editor/translator (standardised spelling)
• format
• language
• price or number of sheets
• price standardised in Pfennig
• Where an extant exemplar is known:
• VD16/RISM/Claus number or, if in none of these catalogues, the holding library
• year of publication taken from extant exemplars
• number of leaves
• number of sheets (number of leaves divided by format)
• price per sheet
To identify titles and copies, I used the VD16, USTC, KVK, Claus’ Melanchthon-Bibliographie
and, for music, also RISM and vdm. Where an author was not given, searches for the title
in several cases gave a likely author; these names are indicated in Appendix 11.2 in square
brackets. Where a title has been identied as extant, the format and number of sheets have
been used to conrm the identication.
The entries for the thirty-six school books (‘Scholasticalia’) do not specify their format.
The placement of this section in the catalogue, between the Latin books in octavo and the
German books in octavo, supports the supposition that all the school books were likewise
in octavo, the regular format for school textbooks at this time. Indeed, of the twenty-seven
titles that survive, all are indeed in octavo. Consequently, my calculations for the school
books assume that all titles are in octavo. All the school books are written in Latin, except
for the last edition in the list, a music-theory textbook in German.
Analysis of this list must also take typographical errors into account. For example, one
edition, [2.02], stood out as an anomaly. The Catalogue stated that it was printed on 273
sheets, but both known Montanus & Neuber editions of this book were printed on 173
sheets. It may be assumed then that 273 was a typographical error that should have read
173. Accordingly, this has been amended in Appendix 11.2.
THE MONTANUS & NEUBER CATALOGUE OF 1560 251
In some instances, the stated number of sheets matches the number of sheets in ex-
tant editions nearly but not exactly, typically with a discrepancy of 0.5 or one sheet. This
particularly affects books assigned a printing date of 1559 [1.14], [2.04], [3.09], [4.03] and
[4.13]20 but not 1560. In some of these instances, the discrepancy may be a result of irreg-
ular gatherings in the middle of a work. For example, [2.04], a folio, is expected to be of
173 sheets but is of 174; the ‘extra’ sheet may be from gathering ee having an extra bifo-
lium: the edition is signed a–z6aa–dd6ee8A–Z6Aa–Dd6Ee–FF8. As an example of a ‘missing’
half sheet, [4.15], signed a-h8i4aa-cc8dd4, an octavo is listed at 12.5 sheets but is actually of
twelve sheets; it nishes with a four-leaf gathering which presumably accounts for the 0.5,
but gathering i is also a half sheet of four leaves, and may have been counted as a full sheet
in the calculation. This suggests that rather than counting the sheets, the person who com-
piled the catalogue perhaps used the nal signature as a shortcut to calculate the number
of sheets. Where the calculation differs other than in such instances, I have assumed that
the edition mentioned in the catalogue is not identical to an extant edition, and include the
extant edition in a footnote but not in the table itself (see Appendix 11.2).
Ulrich Neuber’s brother, Valentin
Six titles in the catalogue [5.14], [5.20], [6.03], [9.01], [9.23] and [10.09] are not extant in any
edition printed by Montanus & Neuber, yet do survive in editions printed by Ulrich Neu-
ber’s brother, Valentin, who likewise had a printing workshop in Nuremberg. Each of these
six titles has a format of octavo or smaller. Montanus & Neuber is best known for high-end
folio and quarto editions and polyphonic music, whereas Valentin Neuber is best known
for smaller, cheap editions, and so was not a direct competitor. This raises the question of
whether Montanus & Neuber included some of Valentin Neuber’s editions in their cata-
logue. However, this can be ruled out. The clearest evidence is that in four of the six cases,
the number of sheets given in the catalogue does not precisely match the number of sheets
in the extant Valentin Neuber edition, and there is no reason why this should be so; and in
another other instance, the Montanus & Neuber edition and the Valentin Neuber edition are
in different formats.21 That these titles were printed by both printing houses is not surpris-
ing: they were popular titles by best-selling authors – Erasmus, Luther and Melanchthon –
that were not covered by a printing privilege; editions of these works were typically issued
by many printers. As noted above, the Montanus & Neuber catalogue had two blank pages
at the end, and so a section listing non-competing editions by Valentin could have been
included if they had so desired. The absence of such a list provides further evidence against
the existence of a sales and marketing relationship between the two printing houses.
Interpreting prices
Whenever considering sixteenth-century prices, we must properly understand the cur-
rency denominations. Different cities or areas had different currency systems that may use
different names for the coins and units of accounting. Even where the same name was used
for currency, it may have had a different relative value: for example, the number of Pfennig
in a Florin varied from region to region.
The catalogue uses four currency denominations: Florin, Ort, Batzen and Pfennig.22 I
have referred to books that reference Nuremberg currency to determine the relationship be-
tween these denominations. An arithmetic book by the mathematician Michael Stifel (1487–
1567), printed in Nuremberg by Johannes Petreius in 1546, states, under the heading ‘On the
252 ROYSTON GUSTAVSON
currency of Nuremberg’ (‘Von Nürnbergischer Müntz’), that 2 Heller = 1 Pfennig; 30 Pfennig
= 1 Pfund; and 8 Pfund and 12 Pfennig [252 Pfennig] = 1 Florin or Gulden.23 Stifel then gives
the abbreviation used for each denomination. Later, he notes that 1 Batzen = 16 Pfennig.24
Stifel does not mention the ‘Ort’, since it was not a coin but a measure in accounting; it is de-
ned in an arithmetic book printed by Valentin Neuber in 1549 as equivalent to a quarter of
a Florin, that is, in Nuremberg currency, 63 Pfennig or approximately 4 Batzen (64 Pfennig).25
If we arrange the books by price, from lowest to highest, the order includes the series: 2
Batzen, 2.5 Batzen, 3 Batzen, 3 Batzen, 1 Ort, 1 Ort, 5 Batzen, 5 Batzen, 0.5 Florin, 0.5 Florin,
0.5 Florin, 0.5 Florin, 3 Ort, 13 Batzen, 14 Batzen. The amount 4 Batzen (64 Pfennig) is not
used, but 1 Ort (63 Pfennig or ¼ of a Florin) is used instead; again, the amounts 8 Batzen
and 2 Ort are not used, but 0.5 Florin is used instead. This implies that the highest denom-
ination was used by preference.
The prices of the books are expressed in the following denominations:
• 153 by number of sheets of paper (ranging from 1.5 to 250 sheets)26
• one in Pfennig (a polyphonic music book too small to be priced in a higher
denomination)
• seventeen in Batzen
• three in Ort
• twelve in Florins
• four unpriced (each is surely an error)
For books priced in Batzen, Ort or Florins, each sheet typically cost approximately 1.5
Pfennig. The only book priced in Pfennig is not extant but there is no reason to assume
that this did not have a similar pricing method. This cost is approximate, as the correlation
cannot be exact; for example, the cost of books priced in Florins is given in half or whole
Florins, and thus in multiples of 126 Pfennig. Using a price of 1.5 Pfennig per sheet, a book
consisting of 84 sheets would cost half a Florin (126 Pfennig); a book of 168 sheets would
cost 1 Florin (252 Pfennig). But books priced in Florins would normally not have this exact
number of sheets. We can determine the number of sheets at which the price changes from
half a orin to a orin. I have developed a model (see Table 11.1) to predict this, where each
half orin increment includes a range from 59 sheets (70%) below the exact increment, up
to 25 sheets (30%) above the exact increment. As a lower number of sheets for a given price
increases prot, it is not unexpected that the split is 70/30 and not 50/50. All but one of
the folio titles is consistent with this calculation. The exception is Luther’s massive four-
volume commentary on Genesis, priced at only 1.05 Pfennig per sheet, which suggests that
Montanus & Neuber may have had excess stock that needed to be sold. The same principle
that a single price point could correspond to a varying number of sheets also applied to
books priced in Batzen and Ort. In books priced at 12 Batzen or more, the cost per sheet lies
between 1.46 and 1.49 Pfennig per sheet, thus approximating a nominal cost of 1.5 Pfennig
per sheet.
What determined the choice of denomination? Patterns between types of books and
pricing suggest that some formats or types of books were considered premium products:27
Books listed by number of sheets:
• None of the Latin folios or quartos
• Nine of the sixteen German folios
• All but one of the German quartos
THE MONTANUS & NEUBER CATALOGUE OF 1560 253
• All but one of the octavos, duodecimos (12mo), sextodecimos (16mo) and trigesimo-
secundos (32mo) regardless of language, but none of the editions in these formats of
polyphonic music
• All ‘Scholasticalia’ (including all music theory)
Books priced in Florins, Ort, Batzen or Pfennig:
• All Latin folios and quartos
• The only Czech folio
• Seven of the sixteen German folios
• One of the German quartos
• One of the German octavos
• All polyphonic music editions
There is a pattern for instances where some of a type of book are priced in sheets and
others priced in currency. The German folios aimed at institutional or commercial purchas-
ers, such as Luther’s Kirchen Postilla or the Handel Buch are priced in currency, but those
aimed at personal purchasers, such as Luther’s Haußpostill or Veit Dietrich’s Kinder Postill
are priced in sheets. The only German quarto priced in currency is Johannes Mathesius’
Leychpredigten; that the rm had a particular relationship with Mathesius is demonstrated
by the only records from before 1600 relating to the rm or its successors applying for an
Imperial privilege are for writings by Mathesius.28 The only octavo priced in currency, the
rst edition of a book on making reworks, has many specialised woodcut illustrations.29
Format and language
An examination of the formats shows that half of the titles listed were in octavo, with about
a quarter of titles in larger formats, and a quarter in smaller formats (see Table 11.2); most
of the titles in smaller formats, including all of the smaller format music, were German-
texted. On fol. 6v, the catalogue refers to ‘Columlein’, which refers to the imposition of the
pages on a sheet of paper, and hence format.30
Survivals and losses
The catalogue provides information on the factors that determine the survival or loss of
books. The task of identifying whether or not a particular edition survives in at least one
exemplar is ongoing, as the holdings of smaller libraries slowly appear in bibliographies

and in online catalogues. If editions presently considered to be lost are rediscovered, the
calculations in this section may change slightly.
There is a direct correlation between the size of a book and its chances of survival. If we
look at format, that is, size calculated by the dimensions of page, folios are the most likely
to survive and the tiny 32mo volumes, at only 7.5 × 5 cm, the least likely (see Table 11.3). If
we look at the number of sheets (which is also correlated with the price), we also see that
the editions printed on more than fteen sheets have a much higher survival rate than
those printed on fteen or fewer sheets (see Table 11.4). Whichever method we use to
calculate size, we can conclude that bigger books are more likely to survive than smaller

books. However, length and breadth (format) are a much stronger determinant of survival
than thickness (number of sheets), probably because books printed on a small number of
sheets were often bound together in a single volume, thus vitiating the ‘thickness effect’ of
the individual titles in a convolute volume.
There is thus a correlation between what has survived and the decisions taken by
printers and publishers regarding the format in which they printed and – at least for
anthologies – the cumulative length of the work being printed. A further factor is also at
work. It seems that collectors preferred editions in octavo or larger formats, and that which
was collected has a greater chance of survival.
This hypothesis is borne out by the rate of survival of partbooks of polyphonic music
printed by Montanus & Neuber. The twelve entries of polyphonic music in their catalogue
consist of a total of 119 partbooks. Of these, a total of 112 survive in at least one complete
exemplar, two survive incomplete and only ve are completely lost. Of those that are lost,
one was printed in quarto, one in sextodecimo and three were a set partbooks, probably
in octavo format, in which the entire set was printed on four sheets (that is, only one or
two sheets per partbook). This unusually high survival rate of at least one exemplar may
be a result of the fact that almost all are in octavo or larger format, typically consisting of a
larger number of sheets, and all having premium pricing.
This nding has signicant implications for the survival of polyphonic music and mu-
sic theory. Polyphonic music in the German-speaking area was almost always printed in
relatively larger formats: quarto, and to a lesser extent octavo. Only rarely were music
books printed in folio (the Liber selectarum cantionum is such an exception), sexto (Oeglin’s
songbooks) or formats smaller than octavo (mostly the duodecimos of Peter Schöffer the
Younger, and the sextodecimos of Egenolff and Montanus & Neuber; none of the sets of
sextodecimo partbooks survives complete). This implies that polyphonic music editions
would be expected to have a higher survival rate that the average rate of survival of all
editions, simply because of their size.
Books of music theory (whether learned treatises or instructional works) were printed,
by the time that the rm of Montanus & Neuber was founded, most commonly in octavo,
then quarto and then folio. The typical format of such books also changed over time; in
the early sixteenth century, such school textbooks were usually in quarto, while octavo
format became more popular as the century wore on. The vdm catalogue lists ve works
on music theory in folio, seventy-ve in quarto, seven in oblong quarto, two in oblong
sexto, 105 in upright octavo format, but none in 12mo or 16mo. Some 47% of Montanus &
Neuber’s 12mo editions and 11% of the 16mo editions survive. From this we might suppose
that if any books of music theory were printed in duodecimo format, some of them would
have survived: but there are none known. This suggests that these tiny formats were not
used for music-theory editions. The higher survival rates for larger formats imply that
music-theory editions have a higher survival rate than the average survival rate for all
books (regardless of size).
Polyphonic music books
As mentioned above, the nal page of the catalogue is devoted to ‘Musici Libri’, all of
which are polyphonic music books. Of the twelve titles, ten have long been known, and an
eleventh, the De laude musices from 1556 [12.07], can now be added to music bibliographies.
The sole known exemplar (DAT5; missing B) came to light when it was purchased by the
British Library in 2001. This edition, not in RISM online, is described in Appendix 11.1.
256 ROYSTON GUSTAVSON
The collection contains seventeen settings of texts in praise of music, including six settings
of ‘Musica Dei donum’ and four settings – thee of which are unica – of Georg Fabricius’
poem ‘Divina res est Musica’. These two texts had previously been published by Monta-
nus & Neuber in 1549 on the nal leaf (fol. Qr–v) of the inferior vox of the Diphona amoena et
orida, which was edited by Erasmus Rotenbucher.31 Two other texts are set multiple times:
‘Decantabat populus’ in two settings, both of which had been previously published; and
‘Laeta graves abigit’ in two settings, both of which are unica.32 Seven of the seventeen com-
positions appear to be unica; of particular interest for the compilation of this edition is that
three of the unica are by composers with an association with Heidelberg: Caspar Othmayr,
Gregor Peschin and Stephan Zirler.33 The other ten motets had been previously published:
seven in Susato’s Liber … ecclesiasticarum cantionum (vols. 2, 3, 8, 9 and 10, published be-
tween 1553 and 1555), and three in other editions.
The lost edition, the Oratio Didonis tribus vocibus [12.12.], was given at the price of 6
Pfennig, and thus presumably contained four sheets, one or two sheets for each of the
three partbooks. Montanus & Neuber printed all of their known editions of two-voice and
three-voice compositions in octavo, which suggests that this edition may have also been
an octavo. From the title, we may assume that the edition contained settings of texts from
book 4 of Vergil’s Aeneid, and given number of leaves in each partbook and the inclusion
of multiple settings of the same text in De laude musices, it is probable that the edition
contained more than one motet. There are two extant three-voice motets that would be
suitable for inclusion: both are settings of ‘Dulces exuviae’, one by Gregor Peschin (D-Rp
B 220–222, no. 29) and the other transmitted anonymously in Georg Rhau’s Tricinia (RISM
15428, no. 50; there are multiple concordances).
It is noteworthy that the multi-volume sets such as the six-volume Evangelia [12.01], the
ve Forster Lied Anthologies [12.04] and the three-volume Magnus opus musicum [12.03],
were only available as complete sets – of thirty, twenty-one and fteen partbooks respec-
tively. There was no pricing for individual volumes.
Table 11.5, which lists the editions of polyphony produced by Montanus & Neuber,
shows that most editions published after 1547 are included in the catalogue; the only edi-
tions not included are those for two or three voices (the bicinia and tricinia), and very slen-
der books for special occasions – for example, the Proteleios euchē, which consists of four
leaves of quarto per partbook and may have been a private commission and so not offered
for general sale. Several editions in the catalogue, all anthologies of Lieder, were reprints of
earlier editions; the earlier editions are indicated in the table by a superscript letter ‘E’ after
the catalogue number, and later editions are indicated by a superscript letter ‘R’. Unlike
the rest of the catalogue, the titles in this section, ‘Musici libri’, are not arranged by (and do
not give) the format, which is supplied editorially in Appendix 11.2, nor by language, but
appear to be ordered by price from highest to lowest (with two editions, numbers [12.07]
and [12.10], being out of order).
Music theory
Music-theory books are represented by three titles listed at the end of the section for school
books (‘Scholasticalia’). All are listed by number of sheets. This tells us that music theory –
at least when printed in octavo editions – did not carry premium pricing.
Table 11.6 (p. 259 below) is a list of all Montanus & Neuber music-theory books up to
and including 1563. Two theoretical treatises known to have been printed by Montanus &
Neuber are not included in the catalogue, and had presumably sold out: Heinrich Faber’s

Ad musicam practicam introductio, which they printed once in 1550, was presumably super-
seded by Faber’s Compendiolum musicae (1555 and later editions). The other theory edition
no longer available was Coclico’s Compendium musices, but its accompanying music edition
[12.08] was still available.
Editions containing Kirchenlieder
The catalogue includes six editions containing Kirchenlieder; one of those editions addition-
ally contains Latin-texted liturgical music. These appear under the format and language
headings, where they are mixed in with non-music books (see Table 11.7).
If we examine them in the order in which they appear in the catalogue, the rst is the

Neuber are named as printers in the 1557 edition, they are not named as printers in the 1560
edition; however, the secondary literature, including the VD16 and Claus’ Melanchthon-
Bibliographie (1560.79), assigns this edition to them. RISM DKL gives the format of both
editions as quarto, but in fact they are folios signed and gathered in fours. The edition is in
two parts, each with a separate series of foliation (beginning 1) and signatures (beginning
a); the second part is devoted to music. Folios 2r–65v contain German-texted monophonic
music in white mensural notation, and folios 66r–93r print Latin-texted monophonic music
in Gothic chant notation. This is followed by ten pieces of four-voice homophonic mu-
sic (Discantus, Altus, Tenor, Bassus): ‘Isometra symphona ad Psalmum quemlibet accom-
modabilis’ in the rst and fth tones on folios 93v–95r, and a set of eight Magnicats, one
in each of the eight tones, on folios 95v–119r. This edition is set at premium pricing, here
in Batzen at 1.45 Pfennigs per sheet. Half of the German editions in folio format have
premium pricing, and it cannot be determined whether or not in this instance the pricing
THE MONTANUS & NEUBER CATALOGUE OF 1560 261
resulted from the inclusion of printed music. However, as three of the volumes discussed
below consisted mostly of printed music (including one using both white mensural and
Gothic chant typefaces), but are not set at premium pricing, it is more likely that the asso-
ciation with the Pfalzgraf was the decisive factor.
The next item is the Leychpredigten of Johannes Matthesius [3.06]. This is the only up-
right German quarto in the catalogue that is not listed by number of sheets but priced
in Batzen, which implies that the publisher wished to single out this volume as being of
special signicance. Of its some 600 pages, only three have printed music (fol. Aa2v, Pp3r
and Dddd2v), in each case a single monophonic hymn. It was printed on 75.5 sheets and is
priced at 5 Batzen, approximately 1 Pfennig per sheet to the nearest Batzen.34
Item [3.07] is the Agenda Viti. The edition of 1560 comprises 124 leaves in quarto, that is,
thirty-one sheets, which matches the number of sheets stated in the catalogue. Montanus &
Neuber had printed at least nine earlier editions of this work, making this title one of their
bestsellers. As this work was likely to be updated regularly, it was necessary to reprint it
regularly, rather than printing larger editions.
The title ‘Der Picarden Gesangbuch’ [6.22] surely refers to Ein Gesangbuch der Brüder inn
Behemen vnnd Merherrn, Die man auß haß vnd neyd, Pickharden, Waldenses, &c. nennet. The
1560 edition has 248 leaves of octavo, which matches the catalogue description of thirty-
one sheets. Again, this was a bestseller, having been through at least six earlier editions.
Like the Kirchenordnung, two music typefaces are used in this edition: white mensural and
Gothic chant.
The ‘Gesangbüchlein D. M. Luther’ [9.01] cannot be identied as extant. We can calcu-
late from the format (duodecimo) and number of sheets (thirty-two) that we are looking
for a substantial volume of about 384 leaves. Georg Serpilius, in the section of his Lieder-
Gedancken devoted to Nuremberg, lists a ‘Gesangbüchlein/ darinnen der gantze Psalter
Davids nach Ordnung der Psalmen/ sammt andern geistlichen Gesängen mit ihren Melod-
eyen begriffen/ mit Fleiß übersehen und corrigiret/ 1560. in 12’.35 This edition is no longer
extant, and is listed as such as DKL 156010. Although there is much that matches – the title,
city and format – the omission of Luther’s name would be unexpected. In 1553, Montanus
& Neuber had printed a Geistliche Lieder zu Wittemberg (DKL 155305) of 180 leaves in duo-
decimo, and the present edition may be a signicantly expanded edition of that one. On
the other hand, in 1562 Valentin Neuber printed a Geystliche Lieder. Mit einer newen Vorrede
D. Mart. Luth. (DKL 156207) which was 372 leaves of duodecimo, of which this may be an
earlier edition. In any case, this ‘Gesangbüchlein D. M. Luther’ is evidently lost.
The Kirchen gesang büchlein [10.09] in sextodecimo and printed on seven sheets would
have been of 112 leaves. This approximates the Kirchengesenge mit vil schönen Psalmen
(DKL154907) printed in sextodecimo by Valentin Neuber in 1549, but at 7.5 sheets (and so
120 leaves), that edition is half a sheet larger than expected. Given that the known edition
was dated eleven years earlier, and that these small editions were presumably designed to
sell quickly, the edition in the catalogue may be a lost reprint of the 1549 edition.
Let us turn briey to the editions containing hymns printed by Montanus & Neuber,
but which are not in the catalogue, and in particular the many editions by Sebald Heyden,
who spent almost his entire life in Nuremberg. Not one of his six different titles containing
printed music is included in the catalogue; to make it visually apparent that most of the
editions in Table 11.7 that are not in the catalogue are Heyden editions, I have indicated
his editions with an asterisk in the column of the table that gives the catalogue numbers.
Indeed, only four titles by this prolic author are included, all non-music titles sequen-
tially under the heading ‘Scholasticalia’. It is not surprising that his ve tiny editions from
262 ROYSTON GUSTAVSON
the 1540s containing hymns are not listed, as three of them were only four leaves in duo-
decimo. The absence of the much more substantial 1558 Liber canticorum (168 leaves, or
twenty-one sheets, of octavo), a new edition of a title that Montanus & Neuber had previ-
ously printed in [1548] and 1550, suggests that this work had sold quickly.36
Conclusion
This Montanus & Neuber catalogue gives us rare evidence of the publisher’s price of new
unbound music books in the mid-sixteenth century. It demonstrates that, at least for this
major printing rm, music theory and monophonic music was priced at the generic level for
printed editions, but that volumes of polyphonic music attracted premium pricing, which
in this instance was approximately 1.5 Pfennig per sheet. It also tells us that all editions,
both generic and premium, were priced directly according to the number of sheets of paper
used to print a copy of the edition. While this is not surprising, it is good to have evidence.
The catalogue also provides strong evidence for the forces that guide the survival or
loss of individual copies. The most important factors are format and, to a lesser extent, the
number of sheets. This is important as catalogues other than those of printers, publishers
and booksellers include what was actively collected, which was only a selection of what
was on the market. To judge from the catalogues of early collections, the total disappear-
ance of so many tiny books in 12mo, 16mo and 32mo from the record began soon after their
production. The survival of early printed books to our day thus began with decisions taken
by the printer or those commissioning the printing, and related to the function and format
of the book. Being aware of the loss of these smaller editions is important: Peter Stallybrass
has argued that ‘Reprints and job printing had to support the deluxe volumes. But the de-
luxe volumes, surviving in substantial numbers, dominate accounts of the history of print-
ing, while the great majority of broadsides, almanacs, pamphlets, and schoolbooks have
disappeared completely’.37 That the Montanus & Neuber catalogue – an octavo pamphlet
of eight leaves – itself survives in only a single exemplar forcefully reminds us of the forces
of attrition that acted differently on printed material of different kinds.

Appendix 11.2 Edition of the catalogue
The Transcription, Price and the Latin or German headings for each of the sections are
transcribed from the catalogue. All other columns are editorial; authors’ names are stand-
ardised as given in VD16. RISM numbers are only given when the edition is not included
in VD16. The words Florin, Groschen, and chartae (sheets of paper), abbreviated in the
catalogue as the initial letter of each word followed by a ourish that looks somewhat like
a cursive letter ‘ℓ’, are transcribed as fℓ, gℓ, and cℓ respectively.

aThis edition consists of three separately foliated sections and exists in only two known exemplars, both of which are incomplete; the difference in the number
of sheets may indicate additional material that has been lost.
bThis edition does not name Montanus & Neuber as printer, but their role as printer is evident from typographical evidence and from the 1557 edition, VD16 P
2273, which names them as printer.
cVD16 S 5295 (1562), printed on 30.5 sheets (244 leaves of octavo), must be a later edition of this lost edition.
dThe VD16 gives this edition as 173 leaves; this is the number of leaves extant in the incomplete exemplar in D-Mbs, not the number of leaves that would be in
a complete exemplar, for which see Claus 1558.48.
eAlthough the number of leaves differs from that given in the VD16, it has been conrmed as correct by examination of a digital scan of the edition.
fVD16 H 3401 (1580), printed by Montanus & Neuber’s heir, Gerlach, on 3 sheets (24 leaves in octavo) is a later edition of this lost edition.
gVD16 H 3342 (1548), printed on 2 sheets (16 leaves in octavo), is an earlier edition of this lost edition.
hVD16 D 2286 (1548), printed on 7 sheets (56 leaves in octavo), is an earlier edition of this lost edition.
iVD16 ZV 10089 (1561), printed on 129 sheets (1032 leaves in octavo), is a later edition of this lost edition.
jVD16 L 5694 (1544), printed on 8.5 sheets (68 leaves in octavo), is an earlier edition of this lost edition.
kVD16 ZV 14597 (1558) is Trinity to Advent, 536 leaves in octavo, and so possibly part of this edition.
lThis edition does not carry the Montanus & Neuber imprint but their 1555 edition of this title does.
mVD16 ZV 27960 (1563), printed on 95 sheets (760 leaves in octavo), is a later edition of this lost edition.
nThis is a two-volume set sold as a single item; the rst volume covers the Old Testament, the second covers the New Testament.
oThe VD16 incorrectly gives the format as sextodecimo.
pThis edition does not name Montanus & Neuber as printer, but they are assigned as such by Claus 1554.42. VD16 S 1741 (1554), another edition of this title,
is also printed on twelve sheets (but on 187 leaves in sextodecimo); again it does not name Montanus & Neuber, but they are assigned as such by the VD16.
qThis edition has 128 leaves (11.67 sheets) but may have been sold as 12 full sheets; the signatures are A8B4C8D4…T8V4X8. All numbers in the catalogue are either
whole or half numbers, with no other fractions; to sell as a half sheet would have been to sell at a loss, and so I have assumed that the number would have been
rounded up, even though it is possible, but unlikely, that one third was cut off the last sheet.
rVD16 R 1917 (1548) is printed on sixteen sheets (192 leaves in duodecimo) and so may be an earlier edition of this lost edition.
sVD16 L 4814 (1562) is printed on twelve sheets (144 leaves in duodecimo) and so may be a later edition of this lost edition.
tVD16 S 2014 (1562) is printed on six sheets (72 leaves in duodecimo) and so may be a later edition of this lost edition.
uShelfmark of extant exemplar: US-NYpl Spencer Coll. Ger. 1560 09-527.
vVD16 ZV 25237 (1560) is printed on four sheets (32 leaves in octavo) and so may be an edition in a different format to this lost edition.
wVD16 ZV 1823 (1554) is printed on 11 sheets (132 leaves in duodecimo) and so may be an edition in a different format to this lost edition.
THE MONTANUS & NEUBER CATALOGUE OF 1560 275
Notes
1 I am grateful to the staff of the Staatsbibliothek Bamberg for their assistance during my visit to
examine the only known exemplar of this catalogue, to Grantley McDonald for comments on
earlier drafts of this chapter, and to Bonnie Blackburn for comments on the music edition De laude
musices and for sending me concordances that I had missed. This chapter is dedicated to Susan
Jackson, whose ground-breaking research on Montanus & Neuber has laid a foundation for all
future research on this important music publishing house.

5 Ernesti, who led the Endter printing house in Nuremberg from 1717 until his death in 1723, may

As recently as 2015, Reske, Buchdrucker, 739, repeated that the catalogue was not extant.
8 Will, Bibliotheca Norica Williana, 8: 63, Nr. 308, under the heading ‘7. Res libraria. a. Typographia.

standardisation. Wagner, ‘Nachträge’, 131, cites Will’s entry and notes that Will’s exemplar was
missing. Grimm, ‘Buchführer’, col. 1235, doesn’t cite the source for his knowledge of the cata-
logue, but the only author in his bibliography who mentions it is Wagner.

of sixteenth-century German catalogues giving either prices or number of sheets.

19 Catalogue numbers [4.08] (1562), [6.01] (1561; 129 sheets, not the expected 136.5, and so this is not
the edition in the catalogue), [6.11] (1563), [7.11] (1561), [9.24] (1562) and [10.01] (1562).
20 Although this is pure speculation, there could have been a 1559 catalogue (published or not) that
included books which were in preparation but which had not yet appeared; if so, there may have
been slight differences between the expected number of sheets and the actual number of sheets,
but with the expected number appearing in the 1560 catalogue.
21 Erasmus’ De Ciuilitate [5.14] is priced at 6.5 sheets, but the Valentin Neuber edition (VD16 E 2267)
is 6 sheets (48 leaves) of octavo; Luther’s Testament [6.03] is priced at 50 sheets, but the Valentin
Neuber edition (VD16 ZV 16378) is 52 sheets (416 leaves) of octavo; the Gesangbüchlein D. M.
Luther [9.01] is priced at 32 sheets, but the Valentin Neuber edition (RISM 156207) is 31 sheets (371
leaves) of duodecimo; the Kirchen gesang büchlein [10.09] is priced at 7 sheets, but the Valentin
Neuber edition (VD16 K 935) is 7.5 sheets (120 leaves) of sextodecimo. Although Melanchthon’s
Die Sprüche Salomonis [9.23] is priced at 7 sheets and the Valentin Neuber edition (VD16 B 3604) is
printed on 7 sheets, the Montanus & Neuber edition is in duodecimo format whereas the Valentin
276 ROYSTON GUSTAVSON
Neuber edition is in octavo format. The only exception is Melanchthon’s Prouerbia Salomonis
[5.20], priced as 7 sheets; the Valentin Neuber edition (VD16 ZV 26825) consists of 7 sheets of
octavo. This could be explained if one edition was a copy of the other, or if both were copies of an
earlier edition by another printer.
22 An anomaly in the catalogue that I have not been able to resolve is item [2.08]: ‘Opera Cypriani. 8.
gℓ 138 cℓ’. This is the only instance of an entry having what appears to be both a price in currency
and a number of sheets. The extant Montanus & Neuber edition of this item is printed on 138
sheets and so the reference to 138 sheets is correct. Jacob, Rechenbuch, fol. 148v, gives ‘gℓ.’ as being
an abbreviation for ‘Groschen’; if the abbreviation here indicates ‘Groschen’ this would be the
only reference to Groschen in the catalogue. One Groschen in Nuremberg at this time was worth
7 Pfennig (Köbel, Rechenbuch, fol. 15r, ‘Müntz zu Nürenberg’: ‘VII. Pfenning ein Grosch. XXXVI.
Groschen ist ein Gulden.’), and so 8 Groschen was 56 Pfennig. A price of 0.4 Pfennig per sheet,
against the demonstrated 1.5 Pfennig per sheet (almost four times the price) for premium editions
does not seem feasible, and so the abbreviation presumably does not mean ‘Groschen’. The book
is in folio format and so the ‘8’ cannot be related to format. An examination of this edition has not
resulted in any further possibilities of that the ‘8. gℓ’ could mean.
23 Stifel, Rechenbuch, 24 (https://www.e-rara.ch/zut/content/pageview/1257991).
24 Stifel, Rechenbuch, 46.
25 Pock, Rechenbüchlein, fol. D1v.
26 The number of sheets is followed by the abbreviation ‘cℓ’, which Richter, ‘Humanistische Bücher’,
201, identies as an abbreviation for ‘chartae’. This abbreviation is also used for ‘Zentner’, a
one-hundredth part (see Werner, Rechenbuch, fol. D2v) and ‘Centner’, a unit of weight of 100
pounds (‘ein Centner, das sind 100. lb.’ and the next page where the abbreviation is given; Hen-
ning, Gerechnet Rechenbüchlein, fol. )([sic]5r–v).
27 Richter, ‘Humanistische Bücher’, 201, based on his observation that the two ways of indicating
the cost to purchaser changed back and forth throughout the catalogue, suggested that they are
therefore interchangeable. However, he did not analyse the types of books assigned to each cate-
gory; such an examination demonstrates that his conclusion is not substantiated.
28 Koppitz, Druckprivilegien, 40: Johann vom Berg Erben, Karton 6, Nr. 14 of 5 April 1566; 180:
Dietrich Gerlach, Karton 23, Nr. 30 of 27 July 1568; 96: Alexander Dietrich, Karton 13, Nr. 29, un-
dated, referring to Dietrich Gerlach’s privilege for Mathesius’ Postilla; 178: Valentin Geissler (who
married Neuber’s widow), Karton 23, Nr. 17, of 14 December 1575, about taking over Dietrich
Gerlach and Alexander Dietrich’s privilege for Mathesius; 271: Paul Kauffmann, Karton 35, Nr.
12, dated 15 April 1592, taking over the privilege of 27 July 1568 held by his ancestor (‘Ahnherr’)
[no -n] Dietrich Gerlach. A few other editions or sets of editions that have privileges, but for
which there are no Imperial records, are discussed in Jackson, ‘Berg and Neuber’, 73–74; for at
least some of those the privilege was held by individuals other than Montanus & Neuber.
29 The edition carries a ve-year [Imperial] privilege. There is no record of who held the privilege.
Montanus & Neuber reprinted the book in 1561 (VD16 S 3121).
30 Vietor’s 1679 book on layout is titled Neu-auffgesetztes Format-Büchlein: Worinnen Alle Figuren ab-
gefasset || wie man die Columnen recht ordentlich außschiessen und stellen soll || so wohl in groß- als
kleinen Formaten. Geßner’s 1740 denition in his Buchdruckerkunst, 178, reads: ‘Columnen, heisen
[sic] die Seiten der Blätter; Nachdem nun ein Bogen in Octav, Quart, oder Folio gedruckt wird; So
hat er viel, oder wenig, Columnen’.
31 I am grateful to Bonnie Blackburn for bringing to my attention Joachim Heller’s two-voice setting
of ‘Divina res est Musica’ as No. 98 of this anthology; this led to me noticing the printed texts at the
end of this edition. Grantley McDonald has pointed out to me that ‘Divina res est Musica’ was ‘one
of many paratexts in the published version of a poem by Joannes Holtzheuser on the dignity and
powers of music, recited during a lecture on music given at the University of Wittenberg by Hein-
rich Faber on 26 April 1551. Indeed, the theme of the 1556 publication, “On the praise of music”, is
precisely that of Holtzheuser’s own work, which suggests a connection between the two publica-
tions. See Holtzheuser, Encomium Musicae, fol. A1v. Further on this event, see Leaver, Luther’s Litur-
gical Music, 84–85’. One of the unica in De laude musices is a setting of this text by Heinrich Faber.
32 Bonnie Blackburn has kindly pointed out to me that the text ‘Laeta graves abigit’ also appears in
Rotenbucher’s Diphona amoena (No. 4) as a contrafactum text for the Pleni of Brumel’s Missa Je nay
deul; this is the only setting of this text listed on RISM-online.
THE MONTANUS & NEUBER CATALOGUE OF 1560 277
33 Othmayr died in 1553, and so his motet is unlikely to have been specically composed for this
collection; Peschin disappears from the records in 1547, and so the same is presumably true for
his setting.
34 According to the catalogue it is quarto, the same format given in VD16; RISM DKL gives the
format as octavo. All sources indicate that this book has 388 or 390 leaves, but my examination of
the exemplar in A-Wn gave 298 leaves (Part I: *6A–Z4Aa4 = 102 leaves; Part II: Bb–Pp4 = 56 leaves;
Part III Qq–Zz4Aaa–Zzz4Aaaa–Dddd4 = 140 leaves).
35 Serpilius, Georgii Serpilii, 69, No. CCX. Serpilius is cited by Wackernagel, Bibliographie, 307, No.
794, which is cited by RISM DKL.
36 Heyden’s involvement is indicated only by the fact that the poem ‘Ad lectorem’ on f. A2r is signed
‘S. H.’.
37 Stallybrass, ‘Little Jobs’, 322. I am grateful to Kate van Orden for bringing Stallybrass’ chapter to
my attention.
