The Algemene muziek encyclopedie, an encyclopedia of music history and musical terminology, was originally published in six volumes in Ghent, Belgium (1957–72). A large number of prominent musicologists in Belgium and the Netherlands provided contributions, headed by August Corbet and Wouter Paap. The Belgian musicologist Jozef Robijns (1920–93), Professor at Leuven University and librarian of the Bruges Conservatory, edited the second edition together with Miep Zijlstra, expanding it to ten volumes. This edition covers aspects central to the study of music history, organology, and music theory, including music not belonging to the classical canon. With its emphasis on Belgium and the Netherlands the encyclopedia is especially useful for scholars who seek information on the musical culture of the Low Countries.
