Database dei libretti per musica
RISM (Répertoire International des Sources Musicales) is an international collaborative programme which aims to document all pre-1850 musical sources surviving in libraries and archives worldwide. These sources include printed and manuscript music, writings on music and libretti.
Through its online and printed publications, RISM brings together the results of research and cataloguing in more than 30 countries, including the UK – work that is still ongoing. In the UK, work is co-ordinated by the RISM (UK) Trust.
Much of data gathered worldwide is freely available for searching via the international RISM Catalog of Musical Sources . You can search this database for printed and manuscript music held in libraries across the world, including libraries in the UK.
