<p>The <em>Thesaurus Musicarum Latinarum</em> (TML) was created in 1990 by the initiative of a group of scholars from around the world, under the direction of Thomas Mathiesen at Indiana University, with the ambition to collect in electronic format the entire corpus of Latin music theory written during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.</p>

<p>These texts are literary works that discuss general principles (e.g. the origin and nature of music, its role within human activities) or technical issues (e.g. the construction of musical instruments); or describe or define procedures (composition, notation and performance), and genres or styles (within liturgical, secular, and instrumental repertories, in monody and polyphony). Many of the treatises include illustrations and drawings exemplifying the matters discussed and musical examples, sometimes derived from actual compositions (sometimes the only remnants of otherwise lost pieces). Often the authors are the same musicians known from sources of contemporary music.</p>

<p>These writings are of course of the greatest importance to music historians, theorists and early music performers: the information they give plays a fundamental role in our ability to reconstruct, understand, and ultimately perform the music of the past. But the significance of these texts goes beyond the interest of a single discipline. Since its inception, the TML has also been used as a research aid for scholars of intellectual and scientific history. In fact, these writings reflect the much broader role that music held in the history of ideas, not as an exclusively aesthetic phenomenon but rather as an essential part of the social, religious, and educational experience, especially within those times and cultures when Latin was the language of learning and intellectual life.</p>
