Reviews

The book is beautifully produced, with lots of good illustrations and musical examples [...] In a sense it is a monument, not just to one scholar, but to a whole generation in which some of the finest minds dedicated themselves to the music of the fifteenth century.
*MUSIC & LETTERS*

[T]he volume is serious in style and content but has moments of lightness and humour [...] the articles provide new, original material and ideas on a large number of topics. [...] a labour of love.
