Since its inclusion in Ludwig’s Repertorium, and Yvonne Rokseth’s subsequent extensive study and facsimile publication of the manuscript, the Montpellier Codex (Bibliothèque interuniversitaire, Section de médecine, H.196) has occupied a central place in musicological scholarship on medieval polyphony. The eighth fascicle, in both its physical characteristics and its contents, has prompted diverging interpretations of its relationship to fascicles 1-7, and its place within narratives of the development of thirteenth- and fourteenth-century polyphonic composition.
Abstracts of 300 words should be sent to catherine.bradley@music.ox.ac.uk by 1 October 2013.
