N2  - "Dizionario storico-critico degli scrittori di musica e de' più celebri artisti" by Abate Giuseppe Bertini is a historical and critical dictionary written in the early 19th century. The work aims to catalog and evaluate notable writers and artists of music across various nations, encompassing both ancient and modern figures. This comprehensive dictionary offers insights into their contributions, styles, and significance within the musical landscape.  The beginning of the text presents a critique aimed at a previous work, highlighting the contentious nature of literary and music criticism. Bertini's criticism appears to address issues of modesty and accuracy in music discourse, launching a defense of his own work while dismissing the critiques of others. The excerpt provides a glimpse into the great debates of musical theory and history, illustrating Bertini's dedication to framing a more scholarly approach to music appreciation. The author also references other prominent figures in music, indicating his broad engagement with the musical community and the intellectual debates surrounding its history.
