Editor's Notes

  • #3: Context: As a lyric inserted into a longer narrative, the work has a dual nature as a part, and as a whole in its own right. This raises interesting questions for transmission.
  • #4: History of fragmentDescription of fragmentImageProblem: how to integrate with our knowledge of Machaut dissemination?
