Rome: American Institute of Musicology, 1991. URTEXT EDITION
This is an urtext/critical/scholarly/scientific edition (or a simple re-engraving). Any commentary or critical apparatus, if protected by copyright, should not be included in the scan(s) available here.
In Canada, new editions/re-engravings of public domain works (when not including new original material) should be in the public domain due to failing to meet the threshold of originality. In most European Union countries, these editions (except new original material) are generally protected for no more than 25 years from publication (30 years in Poland), and only if the edition is published after the copyrights of the original creator(s) have expired. In the United States, copyright can only apply to new creative work, and the re-engraving of a public domain piece (not including new additions of creative material) should not qualify for a new copyright, despite copyright claims (which properly would only apply to new material).
You may need to check the publication date and details of the work's first publication in order to determine the work's copyright status, especially for the United States, as the copyright on the original work may not have expired.

| Misc. Notes

750 dpi, monochrome. Most of preface removed; critical notes retained. This edition also contains reproductions of chants from 16th-century sources on which this organ music was based.
Aspects retained from original source: note values; hand division as represented in upper and lower staves; dotted notes (even across barlines).
Aspects changed or supplemented by the editor: accidentals may receive editorial cancellations or additions (in small type or parentheses); beaming is adjusted to match the style of Merulo's engraved works; dotted bar lines are used for exceptions to normal bar placement; staves and clefs are modernized.

These written-out settings of organ Masses were intended for use at relatively minor points in the liturgical year (none of these settings are for Easter or Christmas) by organists who were unwilling or unable to improvise an alternatim organ Mass. The technical demands made of the organist by these Masses are therefore smaller than in Merulo's toccatas or canzoni.
