Abstract Two manuscript music primers used by the Hamburg cantor Thomas Selle (1599-1663) serve as the basis for this dissertation. Bound together in the seventeenth century, these two manuscripts are the Kurtze doch gründtliche anleitung zur Singekunst (c. 1642), Selle's own manual outlining rudimentary theory and solmization practices, and Instrumentum Instrumentorum, hoc est, Monochordum vel potius Decachordum (1634), a treatise by another North German cantor, Heinrich Grimm, on the division of the monochord and its practical application for teaching music theory. In addition to providing translations and transcriptions of the two manuscripts and accompanying critical notes, the dissertation examines topics such as the careers of both cantors, the role of music instruction in Hamburg's St. Johannis-Schule in the early seventeenth century, and a possible network of cantors and theorists surrounding Selle’s teacher, Seth Calvisius. Commentaries on the manuscripts describe the transmission, structure, and content of the texts, as well as place them within the history of German music instruction manuals. The examination reveals that each of the manuscripts includes useful didactic methods and noteworthy features, which distinguish it from other music primers of the period. As a result, both Selle and Grimm may be viewed as more progressive educators than many of their contemporaries.
