A Handbook of Legendary and Mythological Art

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important                 historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to                 apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to                 sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and                 does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is                 culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally                 enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or                 missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the                 original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it                 back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with                 access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional                 imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that                 intended by the original publisher.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1883 edition. Excerpt: ...either antiquated or still in use, are known to be of Arabic origin. This is also evident from their names. No doubt, the Arabs, when they came to Europe, in the beginning of the eighth century, were more advanced in the cultivation of music, or at all events in the construction of musical instruments, than were the European nations. Thus only can their astounding musical influence be accounted for. Charlemagne, towards the end of the eighth century, most likely encouraged the introduction of the Moorish instruments into his empire. This enlightened monarch instituted schools for the cultivation of vocal music at Mete, Soissons, and St. Gallen; no doubt, he appreciated the superiority of the musical instruments which had become known to him from Spain. It has been often asserted by musical historians that the Crusaders introduced certain oriental musical instruments into Europe. Very likely they contributed in making the instruments still more popular; but, at the time of the Crusades, from about the end of the eleventh century to the end of the twelfth, the Arabic instruments, including the rebab, were no longer new in Europe, and the Crusaders saw only Arabic instruments with the Mohammedans. In fact, there is no known European instrument played with a bow which is older than the rebec. There are some old Slavonic fiddles which may have been derived direct from Central Asia--such as the Russian gudok, a rude sort of violoncello with three strings, still occasionally found among the Cossacks, and believed by them to be of very high antiquity. However, as the age of the gudok has not been definitely ascertained, the popular belief that it is the oldest fiddle in the world is of but little use for our investigation. The Russian name for...
