The interdisciplinary approach of Music and Medieval Manuscripts is
modeled on the work of the scholar to whom the book is dedicated.
Professor Andrew Hughes is recognized internationally for his work
on medieval manuscripts, combining the areas of paleography,
performance, liturgy and music. All these areas of research are
represented in this collection with an emphasis on the continuity
between the physical characteristics of medieval manuscripts and
their different uses. Albert Derolez provides a landmark and
controversial essay on the origins of pre-humanistic script, while
Margaret Bent proposes a new interpretation of a famous passage
from a fifteenth-century poem by Martin Le Franc. Timothy McGee
contributes an innovative essay on late-medieval music, text and
rhetoric. David Hiley discusses musical changes and variation in
the offices of a major saint's feast, and Craig Wright presents an
original study of Guillaume Dufay. Jan Ziolkowski treats the topic
of neumed classics, an under-explored aspect of the history of
medieval pedagogy and the transmission of texts. The essays that
comprise this volume offer a unique focus on medieval manuscripts
from a wide range of perspectives, and will appeal to musicologists
and medievalists alike.
