Peter Urquhart replied to Dominique Gatté's discussion Corbie : New 16th c. polyphonie with signature in Medieval Polyphony 1440-1600

Peter Urquhart replied to Dominique Gatté's discussion A new very smal fragment ! in Medieval Polyphony 1440-1600

"    It's good to have this digital version of the MSS, given how difficult it is to read the old Garland facsimile.  Not sure why that reproduction was so poor, but this one is glorious.    I don't see any "discussion" yet on this manuscript,…"
