Abstract
This paper attempts to come to grips with some of the questions raised by the transcription of polyphonie music from the XIIth to the XIIIth centuries, and notably its oral possibilities. How will the paleograph, so dependant upon the written sources, be able to reach some of these oral aspects, and take account of them in the transcription ? Ultimately, the musicologist will have to adopt several epistemological approaches, explore the different possibilities of transcription from the point of view of the strict respect of the document (diplomatie level) to that of the inductive reasoning which dermines the hypotheses upon which the intellectual construction is founded, taking into account in the mean time two types of transcription, the analytical one and the "prescriptive" one used by the musician of early music.
