Tekst over Philippus de Monte (eerste blad) 1596 - 1603

This manuscript page, likely from the late 16th or early 17th century, is a handwritten text about the composer Philippus de Monte. The text is in Dutch, and the page appears to be from a larger volume. It focuses on the idea of music and its influence on the mind and body. The anonymous author draws parallels between music, dance, and the movements of the planets. This fascinating document sheds light on the understanding of music and its influence on society during this period. It is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, a prominent museum in Amsterdam.
