D'Accone brings together nine of his essays that have previously appeared in journals, congress reports, and books over a period of forty years: 1961-2001. They focus on the topic of Florentine music and musicians of the Renaissance and are documentary studies and research on liturgical usages, political and social conditions, the financial status of musicians and musical pedagogy, and recruitment and hiring practices. Figures discussed include Heinrich Isaac, Lorenzo the Magnificent, Alessandro Coppini, and Bartolomeo degli Organi. One of the essays was published in Italian and is not translated here.
