Summary/Abstract: The author is rendering an overview of music printing in Hungary, beginning from the first initiatives in the 16th century until the publication of the Old Gradual, which is unique in its double music printing technique. For this great enterprise the Prince’s Press in Gyulafehérvár (Alba Iulia) used all the decorative ornaments that the press had at its disposal. There were also some newly acquired large scale printing types.
