    Annotation:

    An in-quarto incunabulum printed in Rome by Eucharius Silber (Historia Baetica by Carlo Verardi, a historical play in Latin prose celebrating the conquest of Granada) contains what is believed to be the first polyphonic secular song ever printed, and the earliest extant example of theatrical music: Viua el gran Re Don Fernando, an anonymous barzelletta. Most scholarship has found no relationship between the music and the play by Verardi other than a shared subject and encomiastic purpose, and many scholars doubt if the music was actually sung at the premiere of the play, as is generally believed. Our aim is to understand the semiotic function of this piece of printed music from the 1493 edition by Silber. We start by considering this edition as a politically aimed act of discourse where the inclusion of each of its components, as well as their material arrangement, was dictated by a complex net of political, diplomatic, and personal interests. In this context, we try to show how and why the printed music is a rhetorical mechanism that deliberately highlights the performative quality of Verardi's play, as well as the theatrical nature of the celebrations held in Rome on the occasion of the conquest of Granada.
