Contents            Preface            Introduction

For seventy-five years the music collection amassed by Éditions de l’Oiseau-Lyre’s founder, Louise B.M. Dyer—later Louise Hanson-Dyer—remained a private collection. As part of the on-going relationship between the press and the University of Melbourne, this collection has now been transferred to the Louise Hanson-Dyer Music Library at the University and is now accessible by the international musical and scholarly community. The collection comprises some 250 prints and manuscripts dating from the 15th to the early 19th centuries. It is particularly notable for its collection of French operatic works, British publications, works of the Italian renaissance and books on music theory. The collection has been meticulously catalogued by Denis Herlin and includes a substantial introduction (in French and English) and over fifty black and white plates. Hardback, xxxiv, 170 pp., ISBN 0 7340 3646 9
