Re-Placing Medieval Music
Abstract
This essay explores reasons and methods for combining historical research in medieval music and postmodern critical theories associated with “new musicology.” I discuss recent historiographie writings by medievalists and theories of intertextuality from literary critics who argue for the conscious integration of present-day frames of reference into interpretations of historical material. Three postmodern themes form my frame of reference: (1) the critique of metanarratives, (2) the constitutive relationships between central and marginal “texts,” and (3) the recognition of plural perspectives and meanings. I show how these themes instigate compelling readings of two treatises—Johannes de Grocheio's De musica (ca. 1300) and Dante's De vulgari ekquentia (ca. 1305)—and some contemporaneous monophonie mensural additions to the chansonnier F-Pn fr. 844 (trouvère MS M, also known as the Manuscrit du roi).

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
