Thesaurus Musicarum Italicarum (TMI) is a corpus of Italian-language music treatises from the 16th and 17th century. The core of the corpus is formed by the writings of Gioseffo Zarlino, a Venetian musician and intellectual whose writings belong to history’s most influential music theoretical writings. TMI is edited using Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) markup (see http://www.tei-c.org/). TmiWeb, the web version of TMI, was developed on top of the DynaWeb SGML publishing environment. Since 2002, this software is no longer supported by the vendor. The aim of the DANS-funded TmiWeb2 was therefore to design a new, XML-based infrastructure for TMI.

This dataset comprises:

• TEI P5 encodings of the treatises that were migrated • relevant document schemas • music examples from the treatises (partly)

Illustrations from the treatises that were reproduced from the sources or from facsimiles, and encodings of the treatises before migration, are not included.
