The Journal of Seventeenth-Century Music

Positioning the references: References may appear either at the right-hand side or at the foot of the screen. Readers can change the position of the references by changing the width of the window. To change the width, either drag the edge of the window or adjust the magnification (Ctrl+ or Ctrl- on PC, Cmd+ or Cmd- on Macintosh).

Reading the references: Use the note numerals to move back and forth between the main text and the references. The links work in both directions. The linked object will move to the top of its frame.

Opening linked files: In recent issues of JSCM, most examples, figures, and tables, along with their captions, open as overlays, covering the text until they are closed. Nevertheless, readers have choices. In most browsers, by right-clicking the hyperlink (PC or Macintosh) or control-clicking it (Macintosh), you can access a menu that will give you the option of opening the linked file (without its caption) in a new tab, or even in a new window that can be resized and moved at will.

Printing JSCM articles: Use the “print” link on the page or your browser’s print function to open a print dialog for the main text and endnotes. To print a linked file (e.g., an example or figure), either use the “print” command on the overlay or open the item in a new tab (see above).

Items appearing in JSCM may be saved and stored in electronic or paper form and may be shared among individuals for all non-commercial purposes. For a summary of the Journal's open-access license, see the footer to the homepage, https://sscm-jscm.org. Commercial redistribution of an item published in JSCM requires prior, written permission from the Editor-in-Chief, and must include the following information:

This item appeared in the Journal of Seventeenth Century Music (https://sscm-jscm.org/) [volume, no. (year)], under a CC BY-NC-ND license, and it is republished here with permission.

Libraries may archive complete issues or selected articles for public access, in electronic or paper form, so long as no access fee is charged. Exceptions to this requirement must be approved in writing by the Editor-in-Chief of JSCM.

Citations of information published in JSCM should include the paragraph number and the URL. The content of an article in JSCM is stable once it is published (although subsequent communications about it are noted and linked at the end of the original article); therefore, the date of access is optional in a citation.

We offer the following as a model:

A Note from the Editor

This issue features three articles, all focused on Italy: Valeria Conti and Nicola Usula revisit the thorny old problem of the sources for L’incoronazione di Poppea, but from a surprising and productive new perspective. Sara Pecknold explores Barbara Strozzi’s collection of motets as a reflection of two kinds of maternal love, the carnal and the spiritual, and a reflection of the composer’s biography as well. Martin Morell takes us back to the turn of the century for a thoughtful consideration of some biographical tidbits from the archives. For the book reviews by Alon Schab and Sarah Williams, we turn to the music and musical culture of England.

Readers who are new to the Journal might want to consult the “Reading JSCM” pop-up at the top of each article or review starting with volume 17. It gives information on choices available to you as you read.

As this issue was in preparation, the latest volume in our associated series, JSCM Instrumenta, was also taking shape. Lex Silbiger’s Frescobaldi Thematic Catalogue Online, originally hosted by Duke University, has now been given a new home and new interface by the Society for Seventeenth-Century Music. Readers of the Journal are encouraged to take a look—indeed, to peruse the entire series, which offers an impressive variety of research tools for scholars.
