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?
