The document summarizes the history of musical ornamentation in the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, and Spain between 1500-1800. It explains that the first ornamental signs appeared in keyboard and lute manuscripts in the 14th and 15th centuries in a non-standardized form. In the 16th and 17th centuries, English sources for keyboard and lute also used signs for mandatory ornaments. Spanish theorists of the 17th century discussed vocal and instrumental ornaments.
