In addition I am most grateful to all of the following people for their assistance and advice, their encouragement and expertise: Alfredo Bernardini, Bonna Boettcher, Michael Colver, Joseph B. Dallett, Rebecca Harris-Warrick, Bruce Haynes, Ekkehard Krüger, Heather Miller Lardin, Samantha Owens, Robert Seletsky, Marc Vanscheeuwijck, Amanda Eubanks Winkler and Neal Zaslaw. Also my gratitude to Amanda Millar and other staff members at Cambridge Scholars Publishing for their expert assistance in bringing this book to its final issuance. Special thanks to Dagmar Steinfurth, librarian at the Universitätsbibliothek in Rostock, for all her help in making the Pez MS accessible and for helping to procure the Universitätsbibloithek’s kind permission to reproduce some of the images of the MS (see Appendix IV). Finally special thanks (again) to my dear wife Elizabeth for her patience, proofreading and photographing, to William Cowdery, who typed the music into his Finale program and provided his much valued perspective along the way, and to my daughter Anne Ferris, who made several computers talk to one another.
