The Brescia edition is a close reprint of the Milanese Practica, and the printer Angelus Britannicus employed the same handsome series of cuts as the edition of La Signerre. The author quotes classical authorities on music (above all Pythagoras, Aristotle and Boethius) in addition, he mentions both later theorists, such as Guido d'Arezzo and Johannes Tinctoris, and contemporary composers, such as Gilles Binchois, Guillaume Dufay, and John Dunstable. The Practica musicae is dedicated by Gafurius, choir master at the cathedral in Milan, to Ludovico il Moro, and illustrates all aspects of the theory and practice of music, including chant, polyphony and the rules of counterpoint, giving a complete picture of the status of music theory at the time.
