Abstract
One of the more obscure episodes in the long history of the English stage is the foundation and short-lived existence of a French language Royal Academy of Music in the early 1670s. I intend to sum up here the evidence so far available and to show, using for the purpose a double MS. of Pierre Perrin's Ariane in the Bibliothèque Nationale, together with a few other documents, that the enterprise was indeed a very serious one, and was modelled on an earlier and very similar attempt in Paris a few years previously.

I intend to sum up here the evidence so far available and to show, using for the purpose a double MS. of Pierre Perrin's Ariane in the Bibliothèque Nationale, together with a few other documents, that the enterprise was indeed a very serious one, and was modelled on an earlier and very similar attempt in Paris a few years previously.</abstract><relatedItem type="host"><titleInfo><title>Theatre Survey</title></titleInfo><titleInfo type="abbreviated"><title>Theat Surv</title></titleInfo><genre type="journal" authority="ISTEX" authorityURI="https://publication-type.data.istex.fr" valueURI="https://publication-type.data.istex.fr/ark:/67375/JMC-0GLKJH51-B">journal</genre><identifier type="ISSN">0040-5574</identifier><identifier type="eISSN">1475-4533</identifier><identifier type="PublisherID">TSY</identifier><part><date>1984</date><detail type="volume"><caption>vol.</caption><number>25</number></detail><detail type="issue"><caption>no.</caption><number>1</number></detail><extent unit="pages"><start>55</start><end>67</end><total>13</total></extent></part></relatedItem><identifier type="istex">7443E54D53727FBAC6BEAE002C0A729779CDFD5C</identifier><identifier type="ark">ark:/67375/6GQ-5XBZG1RJ-Q</identifier><identifier type="DOI">10.1017/S0040557400008218</identifier><identifier type="PII">S0040557400008218</identifier><identifier type="ArticleID">00821</identifier><accessCondition type="use and reproduction" contentType="copyright">Copyright © American Society for Theatre Research 1984</accessCondition><recordInfo><recordContentSource authority="ISTEX" authorityURI="https://loaded-corpus.data.istex.fr" valueURI="https://loaded-corpus.data.istex.fr/ark:/67375/XBH-G3RCRD03-V">cambridge</recordContentSource><recordOrigin>Copyright © American Society for Theatre Research 1984</recordOrigin></recordInfo></mods><json:item><extension>json</extension><original>false</original><mimetype>application/json</mimetype><uri>https://api.istex.fr/ark:/67375/6GQ-5XBZG1RJ-Q/record.json</uri></json:item></metadata><serie></serie></istex></record>Pour manipuler ce document sous Unix (Dilib)
