About us
Asclepius Editions is a very small academic publisher specializing in early music that is in most cases previously unpublished in performing editions. We distribute worldwide. We provide high quality, academically informed editions that are both scholarly and designed for practical performance. To date this is mostly early music, especially for viols, but includes ensemble music for other instruments (see our catalogue). Our edited publications are taken directly from original manuscript sources or prints, typically from the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries, and some facsimiles are included. We supply editions direct to individual musicians.

The Editions
The editorial procedures used in our editions comply with today's requirements by performers concerned with informed historical performance practice. Editorial interventions or alterations are disclosed and details of anomalies in the sources are preserved in the edition for scrutiny. All editions are printed on high quality paper. They are A4 formatted and allow practical concert performance with minimum page turn problems. Each edition comes with the appropriate separate parts and score. All bass viol parts use the proper bass clef or alto clef (not the tenor ''cello' clef that is found in many dated or uninformed editions).
