Hortense Charlotte Anine Panum (1856-1933) was a Danish music historian who taught in the early 20th century at the Danish Folk University and the Royal Danish Academy of Music. The present book is probably her most important work, and was first published in Danish in 1928. The first English edition was published in 1940. It is a detailed and comprehensive history, with illustrations, of the evolution of the medieval stringed musical instruments from their first appearance in the records of the earliest civilizations, through their gradual development in the Greek, Roman and Christian eras down to more recent times.
