Analyse des liens génétiques entre deux manuscrits musicaux attribués à Luxeuil

Abstract

The present article reconsidered Jacques Chailley's hypothesis that the origin of the first libellus of BnF lat. 7211 (f. 1-72) was Luxeuil. His evidence, based on a codico-logical comparison with BnF lat. 7212, which contains a papal bull on the favor of Saint-Pierre monastery at Luxeuil, is convincing, since these two manuscripts correspond in many details. However, textual differences between these two manuscripts suggest that lat. 7211 is not directly copied from lat. 7212. Instead, these two manuscripts perhaps share a common source written at the scriptorium of Luxeuil or in the north-west of France. Lat. 7211 was bound later with other libelli, in the 12th century, in a region which used Aquitanian neumatic notation.
