Résumé : |
Essays exploring the contents and contexts of the Montpellier codex's fascicle 8, including the manuscript's production, dating, function, and notation, as well as close-readings of individual works which illuminate compositionally progressive features and interactions with existing musical and poetic traditions. The included essays provide a variety of perspectives on thirteenth- and fourteenth century music, art history, and manuscript culture
"The Montpellier Codex (Montpellier, Biliothèque interuniversitaire, Bibliothèque universitaire de médecine, H. 196) occupies a central place in the scholarship on medieval music. This small book, packed with gorgeous gold leaf illuminations, historiated initials, and exquisite music calligraphy, is one of the most famous of all surviving music manuscripts, fundamental to understandings of the development of thirteenth- and fourteenth-century polyphonic composition. At some point in its history an eighth section (fascicle) of 48 folios was appended to the codex: when and why this happened has long perplexed scholars. The forty-three works contained in the manuscript's final section represent a collection of musical compositions, assembled at a complex moment of historical change, straddling the historiographical juncture between the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. This book provides the first in-depth exploration of the contents and contexts of the Montpellier Code's final fascicle. It explores the manuscript's production, dating, function, and notation, offering close-readings of individual works, which illuminate compositionally progressive features of the repertoire as well as its interactions with existing musical and poetic traditions, from a variety of perspectives: thirteenth- and fourteenth-century music, art history, and manuscript culture."
