An incredible manuscript of work by Guillaume de Machaut. Notice the ornate illumination of capital letters at the beginning of each line.
The fact that this was written in the 14th century blows my mind.
Triplum: The science of music sends greetings to her beloved disciples. I desire each one ofyou to observe the rules and not to offend against rhetoric or grammar by dividing indivisible syllables. Avoid all faults. Farewell in melody.
Motetus: Rhetoric sends greetings to learned Music, but complains that many singers make faults in her compositions by dividing simple vowels and making hockets; therefore I request that you remedy this.
