A companion to the facsimile editions of Monumenta Musicae Byzantinae, explaining the signs and use of
the Middle Byzantine Musical notation and the old MMB transcription style. Orignally published in 1935. With
a postscript by Oliver Strunk
"This handbook is meant to serve as a companion to the Monumenta Musicae Byzantinae, in so far as the
latter provide specimens of the Middle Byzantine musical notation, popularly called the Round System,
which is the earliest form of Byzantine Neumes that can be definitely deciphered. Our aim therefore will be
to give the rules of this system as clearly as possibe: to explain the symbols usually found in musical
manuscripts; and to illustrate by practical examples the method of transcription recommended by the
editors of the Monumenta Musicae Byzantinae. It is to be hoped that the reader, after following our
exposition, will be able to transcribe and perform any ordinary Byzantine hymn of which a manuscript copy
or facsimile may be available."
