The manuscript Ivrea, Biblioteca Capitolare 115: Studies in the transmission and composition of ars nova polyphony. Kügle & (Author), K. January, 1993.
abstract   bibtex   
A study of the copying, origins, and repertoire of I-IV MS 115, a key source for the French ars nova. External features, including different scripts and owners, are described, and the copying sequence of the MS is reconstructed. Evidence gleaned from the compilation and the repertoire of Ivrea 115, combined with archival materials, demonstrate the presence of the French and Savoyards at Ivrea Cathedral between 1359 and 1407. Ivrea 115 may have been copied there in the 1380s and 1390s by two Savoyard clerics, Jehan Pellicier and Jacometus de Ecclesia. A group of closely related isorhythmic motets are examined for their relationship to Philippe de Vitry; yet other motets are examples of the ars subtilior; several cases of stylistic updating in the motet repertoire are discussed. Other aspects of Ivrea 115 considered are the chace and non-isorhythmic motet repertoire; a previously unnoticed group of monophonic mensural settings and related MSS, and their relationship to the polyphonic repertoire; the role of re-casting in the liturgical settings; the relationships between Ivrea 115 and F-APT MS Trésor 16[bis], and between Guillaume de Machaut's Messe de Nostre Dame and the liturgical settings; and evidence of local compositional activity. An updated inventory, transcriptions of pertinent archival documents, and an edition of six previously unpublished works from Ivrea 115 are appended.
