The great number of musical sources preserved in manuscript and printed form clearly reflects the prominent position held by the lute as a musical instrument during the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. Only a relatively small portion of this vast literature is presently available to scholars and interested laymen in the form of modern transcriptions. Referred to as "l'instrument noble par excellence," the lute's popular and fashionable appeal is evidenced by the large number of composers who dedicated themselves to this instrument. Among the number of outstanding lute composers living in Italy during the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries was Giulio Cesare Barbetta (c. 1540-after 1603). During his lifetime Barbetta published a total of four books of lute pieces containing arrangements of polyphonic compositions of various Renaissance composers as well as a large number of original compositions including .preludes, airs, fantasias, and dance pieces. Although Barbetta achieved importance as a leading figure in the Italian school of lute composition, there is little readily available material, either biographical or musical; this study provides the scholar, the performer, and the listener with biographical data and a modern edition of the composer's complete works.

This dissertation informs about the life and work cremonese painter, architect and decorator Giulio Campi (c. 1502-1572), who became in 1541 the author of the decorations for the triumphal entry of Emperor Charles V in Cremona. Together with his colleague Camille Boccaccino suggested a number of triumphal arches, whose appearance has been preserved to this day on preparatory drawings. A number of preparatory drawings, which are part of the recently discovered album of the Clara - Aldringen in Teplice, keep the National Gallery in Prague. This thesis concerns the problems of Campi's proposals of the arches - addresses visual effects that might have had an influence on the Campi's drawing expression, features other Campi's surviving drawings from the collection of the European institutions and summarizes a form of the Charles V Trionfo in 1541 and Philip II. Trionfo in 1549 in Cremona.

Transmutation is explored with respect to the sixteenth century text L'Idea del Theatro, by Giulio Camillo, linking the arts of alchemy, eloquence and divination. Alchemy establishes the doctrine of transmutation; eloquence is founded on the creative movement of deviation, while divination points to symbolization. The 'corporeal visions' of Camillo are set in opposition to the 'single eye' vision from which originate theories on perspective by the architects Leon Bastista Alberti and Sebastiano Serlio.
