Peter M. Lefferts, TME Project Director University of Nebraska-Lincoln This project, initiated and run by Peter M. Lefferts (School of Music, University of Nebraska-Lincoln), is designed to extend the Thesaurus Musicarum Latinarum and to continue the endeavor of capturing all texts on music theory and aesthetics in electronic form. Texts on Music in English focuses on major treatises written in English, allowing them to be searched and browsed. It will eventually comprise all relevant manuscript and printed materials written in English from the Middle Ages through the seventeenth century. The TME has an international Advisory Board whose members are Dr. Jessie Ann Owens (Professor of Music, University of California at Davis), Dr. Ronald Woodley (formerly Senior Lecturer and director of Postgraduate Studies in Music at Lancaster University, now Honorary Senior Research Fellow there), and Dr. Penelope Gouk (Fellow, Wellcome Unit for the History of Medicine, University of Manchester). For more information please consult the Introduction to Texts on Music in English.
