The final section of the Montpellier Codex analysed in full for the
first time, with major implications for late-medieval music. The
Montpellier Codex (Bibliotheque interuniversitaire, Section
Medecine, H.196) occupies a central place in 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 historyan 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 Codex'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
therepertoire 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.
