It also raises questions relating to the notation, chronology, and transmission of the repertory in the early thirteenth century. Such an early date makes these flyleaves the earliest surviving witness to the production of books of Parisian polyphonic music, and challenges the general assumption that no thirteenth-century manuscripts of Notre-Dame polyphony were produced before the second quarter of the thirteenth century. Mariken van Nieumeghen: & Elckerlijc : zonde, hoop en verlossing in de late middeleeuwen (Dutch Edition). Codicological and historical evidence suggests a Parisian origin and a possible date of 1210–20 for a source probably comparable to such manuscripts as F and W1. : Mariken van Nieumeghen: & Elckerlijc : zonde, hoop en verlossing in de late middeleeuwen (Dutch Edition) (9789035118379) and a great selection of similar New, Used and Collectible Books available now at great prices. Mariken has never existed yet she is an integral part of Nijmegen’s history. Despite the absence of written notation, these fragments offer the opportunity to address the implications of polyphonic book production in the generation preceding the great Notre-Dame manuscripts. Mariken van Nieumeghen is the protagonist of a miracle play, which was written by an unknown author in Antwerp around 1500 A.D. The binding flyleaves of this source transmit the texts of eight conducti and two Benedicamus Domino, which were set to receive two-part music that was never entered.

The manuscript Troyes, Médiathèque du Grand Troyes 1471 alters this picture. The surviving Notre-Dame sources do not predate the decade 1230–40 at the earliest. While it is known that Parisian organum and related genres were being cultivated in the last quarter of the twelfth century, no manuscript collection dating before the 1230s has yet been discovered.
