Abstract The present volumes are the first in a projected collection which appears under the imposing generic title of La Müsica en las Catedrales Andaluzas. Predicated on the unquestionable importance of the enormous number of musical sources held in Spanish cathedrals, the collection is organized by the Andalucian Centre of Musical Documentation and will comprise four series: (I) catalogues, (II) documentation, (III) musical editions and (IV) studies. This visionary project enjoys the support of the autonomous government of Andalucia through its Cultural and Environmental Council which in 1988 signed an agreement with the ecclesiastical authorities of Andalucia allowing the thorough cataloguing of the Cathedral archives of the region. As a result, the entire musical holdings of the Cathedrals of Córdoba, Cádiz, Jaén and Seville have been microfilmed; catalogues of the musical holdings of the cathedrals of Seville, Jaén, Córdoba, Granada and Guadix-Baza are close to completion and transcriptions of documents of musical significance from the cathedrals of Jaén, Córdoba, Málaga and Guadix- Baza are in their final stages. Such a vast project promises a great deal and there can be no doubt that these first three volumes abundantly fulfil all expectations.
