Simone Verovio
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Simone Verovio (fl. 1575–1608) was a Dutch calligrapher, engraver, printer, and editor. He was born in 's-Hertogenbosch and moved to Rome no later than 1575. By 1586 he began printing music books, using engraved plates. These were some of the first music books published in this manner. Some of the books he printed seem to have been engraved by Van Buyten, however through various editions the attribution changes. He printed Luzzasco Luzzaschi's Madrigali (1601) and Claudio Merulo's Toccate d'intavolatura (1598, 1604).
