Zbirka Georga Knoffa v Gdansku: opazke o zbiranju in širjenju glasbenih tiskov

Georg Knoff, a patrician from Gdańsk, amassed towards the end of the sixteenth century a collection of 267 music prints, the majority of them originating from Venice. The author puts forward the hypothesis that Knoff obtained the editions by making use of direct contacts with Italy.
