Abstract
Abstract In the first half of the 16th century, extensive collections of songs were compiled in various cities in the Netherlands. The Antwerp Songbook of 1544, which was published in print, is the best known and most comprehensive. This suggests that the focus of song culture was to be found in Antwerp. However, the Zutphen Songbook (Weimar, HAAB, Cod. Oct. 146) and the Venlo-Geldrische Hausbuch (Brussels, KBR, II 144) show that there was also a rich song culture in the eastern regions. This raises questions about the centers of Netherlandish song culture at the beginning of the 16th century, about the interaction between the different territories and about the motives of the various collectors.
