Well, I believe we now have a pretty definitive survey of Petrucci's output, Stanley Boorman's "Ottaviano Petrucci: A Catalogue Raisonné": http://tinyurl.com/9tvz4 (which takes you to: http://www.us.oup.com/us/catalog/general/subject/Music/MusicHistoryWes tern/EarlyMusicMedievalRenaissance/?pr=10&pf=0&ss=title.asc&sf=feature d&sd=asc&view=usa&ci=0195142071 ) Prof. Boorman is one of my dissertation advisors, and he just put this book to bed last Spring, having been working on it at long as I've known him (since 1988). It was published last November, and is pretty much the last word on the subject from the recognized expert on it. Stanley has often cautioned me about the danger of considering surviving sources as any kind of evidence for dissemination or popularity, so I strongly suspect he has quite a bit to say about that in his massive monograph (1,296pp.). -- David W.
