Contact seller5-star sellerFirst Edition. First edition of the first dictionary of music in English, 8vo, pp. [2], xii, 347, [1]; 4 folding plates, printed music notation in the text; full contemporary sheep nicely rebacked to match; a very good, sound copy. In this issue, the first word of the title is over the "d" of "dictionary", and the "J" in the imp…rint is above the "rc" of "Church" in the address. Based largely on the Dictionnaire de musique by Sébastien de Brossard and the musical articles in Chambers's Encyclopaedia, with some original material. Grassineau's Dictionary "contains much of interest and ranks as the first work of its kind in English" (Grove). It is particularly informative on the subject of 'ancient music.' Grassineau probably had some assistance from the composer J. C. Pepusch, at whose instigation the project was apparently undertaken. Pepusch, who employed Grassineasu as secretary and amanuensis, provides an admiring testimonial on the verso of the half-title ('worthy the perusal of all Lovers of Musick'), a testimonial subscribed also by Maruice Greene (then Master of the King's Music) and Johann Ernst Galliard. All three were founding members of the Academy of Ancient Music. Alston XVIII, 1642.

Contact seller4-star sellerFirst Edition. 8vo, pp. xii, 347, (1). With 4 engraved plates. Bound with the half-title in modern half-calf, some foxing and minor stains, a very good tight copy. RISM, Excrits 375; Vancil 35 (ascribing the work to Sebastien de Brossard. Much of the material in this work derives from the work of the French musicologist, Sebasti…en de Brossard, as well as other contemporary sources. "While Grassineau's Dictionary awaits serious studies in textual criticism, it can be said to be the most important dictionary of music published in Britain until the translation of Rousseau. In 1769, after Grassineau's death [in 1767], it was reissued with a separate appendix containing articles from Rousseau's dictionary; the editor is unknown" (New Grove).
