REUCHLIN, Johannes (1455-1522). De accentibus et orthographia linguae Hebraicae . Hagenau: Thomas Anselm, 1518. The first edition of the earliest example of Hebrew music printing. Reuchlin composed this work on Hebrew orthography and accent as an accompaniment to his 1506 Hebrew grammar—and perhaps also as part of his ongoing interest in the mystic connotations of harmony, music, and the alphabet. Adams R380. Quarto (227 x 168mm). Woodcut of Reuchlin's arms on title, woodcut illustration on colophon, (title remargined, title and a4 rehinged; some light spotting). Modern calf, edges dark blue; in slipcase. Provenance : occasional early annotations – The Valmadonna Library.
