Aragonese Kings of Naples - Johannes Tinctoris, Opus musices This manuscript from the University of Valencia was written in Naples around 1483. It is a musical manuscript by Johannes Tinctoris, a versatile author considered to be one of the most outstanding music theorists of his time. He created his 12 treatises while staying in Naples between 1472 and 1487. Only a few copies from the 15th century have been preserved. The Valencian codex contains 9 of the 12 works known to be written by Tinctoris, and is one of the most complete copies. The manuscript begins and ends with two laudatory poems written by the monk Fortunato da Ferrara, in honor of Tinctoris. It includes some parts dedicated to King Ferrante and Princess Beatrice, of whom Tinctoris was the tutor. Page d'accueil de la Bibliothèque numérique mondiale.
