Abstract
Book reviews The 'Catalogus librorum musicorum' of Jan Evertsen van Doom (Utrecht 1639). A facsimile edi- tion with an introduction by Henri Vanhulst. 't Goy-Houten: HES Publishers 1996, 102 pp., ISBN 90 6194 2284, f 132.50. JAN VAN DooRN (1580/85-1651) was a successful bookseller in Utrecht. When the stock of his shop was auctioned in 1644, the catalogue included some 8000 titles. That did not include the ca. 650 music books that Van Doom had offered in a separate cata- logue printed in 1639. The present book is a facsimile edition of this last catalogue. This comprehensive music catalogue, previously unknown among musicologists, proves an important source for studying the distribution of music books in the Dutch Republic. The hegemony of Italian music at that time is reflected in the first part of the cata- logue, which contains 480 music books printed in Italy. The second part contains only 168 publications from France, Switzerland, Germany, and the Northern and Southern Netherlands. So Van Doom's stock contained nearly three times as much music from Italy as from all other countries combined. The Italian emphasis is actually even greater, because much of the material printed outside Italy is Italian music!
