The British Museum citole is a unique example of medieval craftsmanship
and is one of very few surviving instruments from the Middle Ages. This
new publication includes selected papers from the first international
symposium on the British Museum citole, held in November 2010 to
highlight recent new research, conservation work and scientific findings
related to the British Museum citole. Highly illustrated to reflect the
visual richness of this beautiful instrument, The British Museum Citole:
New Perspectives features a wide range of academic approaches to the
subject, drawing together experts from the fields of history, art
history, music, organology, conservation and science and performance
practice.
