- Title
The School of Santissima Annunziata during the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Centuries Humanism and Music in a Florentine Convent.

- Abstract
At the Florentine convent of SS. Annunziata novices had learnt Latin according to traditional methods but from the mid-1470s humanist influence became strong. In music too the mid- 1470s marked a watershed. Northern polyphony became the order of the day, and the novices were given lessons by specialist Northern European singers in up-to-date complex polyphony. Vernacular laude could be accorded polyphonic settings in the North European manner; novices were provided with specialist teaching in laudese singing from the 1470s too.
