Subject: Tout par compas
Does anyone know of a good analysis/discussion of Baude Cordier's
rondeau "Tout par compas" of the Chantilly Codex? Some of you will
recall the splendid performance of same by Peter Becker and the Project
Ars Nova at the last Kalamazoo conference. The booklet accompanying the
P.A.N. recording has a reproduction of the circular canon from the ms.
The notes have the following to say:
"Baude Cordier (fl. 1384-1398), Tout par compas (canonic rondeau).
Cordier wasmost likely the nickname of Baude Fresnel, harp player of
Philip the Bold, Duke of Burgundy. It is possibly Baude himself who
added his two works at the beginning of the Chantilly ms. Tout par
compas is the famous canon in the shape of a circle that has been widely
reproduced in facsimile. Both the text and the length of the work
(thirty three tempora for one turn of the wheel) are symbolic of
pefection, as is the starting mensuration of the canonic voices."
Anyone care to elaborate?
I also have the rather different interpretation by the Ensemble Organum,
in which three voices are used (as opposed to one voice plus vielles in
the P.A.N. recording). Can anyone recommend other recordings of this
piece?
Thanks,
Bob Clark

Subject: Access to DScriptorium via FTP
I've been trying to access the images stored in the DScriptorium
database created by Jesse Hurlbut--Jesse, are you listening? I have
no problem contacting the FTP site, but whenever I issue the GET
command, I am told that "DScriptorium is not a plain file." Well
I for one certainly expected it to be something special rather than
merely plain, but that doesn't help me over this particular hurdle.
Can anyone serve as my translator here? What does it mean that a
file is not "plain." How can I correct for its lack of plainness
so that I can ftp the file? Thanks in advance for all hints and
suggestions.

The problem is that graphics files are always bary files, and the ftp
protocol must be set to "binary" rather than the default "ascii" before
a graphics file can be transmitted.
In addition, if you want to download more than one file, and don't want
to type the precise name of the file each time, you can use a batch
mode. Go through the following after logging on to the ftp server:
bin [toggles send mode to binary]
prompt [toggles interactive mode off]
mget file1 file2 filen [where you can use * to replace parts of the
name; e.g. mget f*1 f*2 f*3 will get al the files whose names
begin with "f" and end in 1, 2, or 3; mget f* will get all teh
files whose names begin with "f" etc.]
bye to end the ftp session
Good luck.

Subject: DScriptorium News
To answer Steve's original question, I believe that the error
statement that "x is not a plain file" means that you have
requested a directory. In ftp, you can GET a single file at
a time (not a whole directory)--although MGET does allow you
to request several files at a time. Anyway, Steve, try CD-ing
into the directory and then request an individual file.
PLEASE NOTE:
DScriptorium has been moved to another address for the time
being, and will move again shortly. All news will be posted here.
The collection will continue to grow--I have over 100 more
images ready to include as soon as I get my new computer.
Gopher and WWW (Mosaic) access will be added in the near future
making access to the collection even easier.
Below is the revised introduction to this material. Please
feel free to contact me if you have questions.
================== DScriptorium ====================

SPECIAL CALL FOR PAPERS--KALAMAZOO 1995
"Ritual, Performance and Culture:
Sessions in Memory of C. Clifford Flanigan"
The sessions are designed to honor the memory and work of Cliff
Flanigan. The sessions will give the many students, friends and
colleagues of Cliff an opportunity to acknowledge his crucial impact
on their own intellectual life and to recognize his significant
influence on the shape of medieval studies over the past two decades.
The topic title links the three areas in which Cliff's scholarship
was preeminent. It further suggests the profoundly interdisciplinary
nature of his work which prefigured so many current intellectual
developments.
Two of the sessions are sponsored by the Medieval and Renaissance
Drama Society. A third will be organized by Early Drama, Art and
Music. The remaining two sessions come from the pool and are
intended to provide a forum for papers that might not fall within the
interests of MRDS and EDAM. The program committee is made up of
Kathleen Ashley, Clifford Davidson, and Larry Clopper.
Abstracts may be sent to:
Larry Clopper
English
Indiana University
Bloomington, IN 47405
e-mail CLOPPER@UCS.INDIANA.EDU
Alternatively, proposers may send topics appropriate for MRDS to
Clopper; those for EDAM to Cliff Davidson; and others to Kathleen
Ashley. Abstracts should be 1 page. Papers are to be 20 minutes
(about 10 pages or less). If you need equipment, please indicate
that on the abstract.

Subject: Fleury Playbook
Try *The Fleury Playbook. Essays and Studies* Ed. Thomas Campbell
and Clifford Davidson, Kalmazoo, Medieval Institute Publications, 1985.
Fletcher Collins has an essay "The Home of the Fleury Playbook" that
deals with the problem you raise. He concludes that although the evidence
for usage at Fleury is circumstantial, no better suggestion has been made.
Cliff Flanigan's essay reflects more generically on the problem of placing
the ms by asking questions about the liturgical context of the plays, i.e.
none. The entire question of relationship of "drama" to "liturgy" is
thus raised.
I am fascinated by these issues. What do we do with these texts
that are "not tied to the cultic life of a specific liturgical community"?
Michael Norton and I are pondering the question in relationship to the
famous Klosterneuburg Easter Play, which certainly was never performed
regularly there, and maybe was never put on. The reason for the
existence of any particular manuscript and how it was used needs to be
considered separately from performance. Rolf Bergmann and Hansju"rgen
Linke have tried to think theoretically about things.
The bibliographical essays in *The Theatre of Medieval Europe. New
Research in Early Drama* Ed. Eckehard Simon, Cambridge Univ. Press,
1991 are very helpful here, although they don't add much to the 1985
bibliography.

Michael Norton and Amelia Carr & other interested folks: Amy's
comments about the crucial questions of manuscripts and their uses
(and non-uses) and especially the enigmatic case of Klosterneuburg
reminds me that I was down at the HQ of the CANTUS database today.
The research staff is inputting (is that a real word?) material from
Klosterneuburg even as we (virtually) speak. Keith Glaeske tells me
that the Klosterneuburg Easter offices are very, very strange indeed.
If he or Prof. Steiner could be of any help, I'm sure they would be
pleased to hear from you. I'll send their e-mail addresses upon
request.

Steve,
Yes, send the e-mail addresses. The Klosterneuburg is a unique amalgam
(Michael should answer--he's the expert here) which is one reason we chose
it for special study. Kl. kept its own form and liturgy until forcibly
"romanized" in the 1570's. What and who exactly IS the Cantus database?
I should know, probably. Are they using Lipphardt as their basis? Are
they using the new manuscripts we discovered? (Maybe we could help them).

Dear Amelia:
Many thanks for your reply to my query. I should have mentioned that
both my friend and I own the 1985 book to which you refer. It seems
that an anonymous reader of her essay had in mind some controversy
that must postdate that volume, or so she was supposing. But
perhaps she did not pluck the key issues out of the essays in
that volume. I also have Simon's book and will look there, too.
Thanks again.

Milla,
If there has been something more since 1985 I'd like to hear about it.
In Flanigan's 1991 essay for Simon's book, he simply stated that there is
still uncertainty about the location, and the 1985 citation is the most
recent *he* gives. Since the question hasn't really been resolved, and
since there still must be people who are supporting the non-Fleury side,
an essay reader might well think it "recent." In any event, isn't it
better to err on the side of caution? or, at least, consider what happens
to the argument if Fleury isn't the original performance site. What
Michael and I have found for Klosterneuburg, however, is that the
manuscript that was there, even if not "performed", seemed to influence
the later monastery inhabitants as pious literature. I think these
things are worth being careful about.

In answer to several questions about my previous posting: the CANTUS
project is an online database for Gregorian chants of the Divine Office.
It is being developed under the direction of Prof. Ruth Steiner of
Catholic University. You can search the database via the CUA gopher.
(Also included on the gopher is a catalogue of the Dom Mocquereau
Microfilm Collection of more than 400 microfilms of medieval music
MSS., including all of those in the CANTUS files.)
The fields in each file in the database provide the following
information for each MS:
--folio number
--sequence number (the position of the chant on the page)
--feast
--office
--genre
--position
--text incipit
--Hesbert's source sigla
--CAO reference number
--mode
--differantia
--feast code
--MS. code
Files can be distributed on the INTERNET without charge; there is a
nominal handling charge for files distributed via diskette.
Inquiries can be addressed via INTERNET to the director of the project
at: steiner@cua.edu
I hope this answers your questions. I know that Prof. Steiner would
be especially interested to hear from those who find the data useful
in their own work.

Dear Amelia:
I think perhaps you have provided the answer Norma was looking
for. Owning the Fleury Playbook herself, she was supposing that she
had missed a later controversy and when she could not find any
references to such in the bibliographical searches she did, she
asked me if I knew of any such thing. I'm now supposing that the
tree was under her nose from the beginning and she had perhaps
failed to focus on the specific issue. I'll pass your
suggestions along to her. And, again, thanks. If anyone else

ONE NOTE ABOUT THE SIMON BIBLIOGRAPHY VOLUME:
For Amelia Carr, but perhaps others.
As many of you know, the Simon book was composed of essays actually written some
years before the volume was published. The conference (which I attended) at
which the papers were given was perhaps 1987, I'm not quite sure. There was
updating of bibliographical references in the bibliography for the printed
volume in 1991, but I'm not sure the essays themselves were upgraded or
rewritten. The publishing process simply took a long, long time (not
unusually). But the 1991 date on the book doesn't necessarily mean that
the essays contain all the information available up to 1991. One has
to check the works cited list and then think of the essays as late
eighties, not early nineties, material. If I'm wrong, and everything
was rewritten and updated, will someone please let me know.
Thanks,

century aftr the burning of a Carthusian monaastery when he saw the charred
fregments of the books in the air and was said to have said something about
reversal of the work of the Sybil. Any idea where he or I could look for
information on this story? Also, he's looking for anyting apart from
Dante on the Aeneid passage on the Sybil, or any references to the pages
of books as "leaves" or to the loss of libraries, particularly with
reference to the unbinding of books, for aproject he's working on.

Windy thoughts from a windy brain.
But thanks,
Milla

The 10th-century Adzo I'm familiar with is Adso of Montier-en-Der, who
wrote De ortu et tempore Antichristi around 949-54, dedicated to
Gerberga. oopss...that's Moutier-en-Der. The Libellus on Antichrist is
reproduced frequently; Adso's summary of Anti-X is thought to have been
taken from so-called "sibylline" prophecies. One publication of the
text, which might help your friend is Ernst Sackur, Sibyllnische Texte
und Forschungen, Halle, 1898. Adso is PL 101, and, I think, CCCM 45.
I'm not familiar with the "leaves of the sibyl" reference you cite (could
it really be a Carthusian monastery ca. 950?), but it wouldn't surprise me.
(I always thought the name Adzo in Name of the Rose alluded to this
standard anti-christ source; both Adso's are narrators, etc.)

The organizer of the 1994 SEMA conference is Dr. Lillian Bisson of
Marymount University, Arlington VA 22207. As far as I know, she is
not on e-mail. You can try calling her at Marymount, or I will
pass along your request if you contact me via private (offlist)
e-mail.

Subject: Mediaevalia volume on medieval drama
Milla (or others): I ordered a copy of the special Mediaevalia
volume right after kalamazoo, but just got a notice that it
"cannot be shipped at this time." What's the story? Is the press
just running way behind in filling orders? Are they sold out/
out of stock?
Thanks for any info you can provide.

Dear Steve and others:
The Mediaevalia volume cannot be shipped at this time, because it is
still at press. We're waiting for the page proofs, which we
expected a few weeks ago. I'm supposing the book is still 2
months away from publication. We'll all just hvae to be patient.
It's genuinely AT PRESS. Just a bit slow.
Best,
Milla

Call for papers:
For the Leeds 95 conference (10-13 July) I will be organizing a
session under the auspices of the Centre for Medieval Studies,
University of Toronto on the following topic:
Medieval Plays/Renaissance Manuscripts
The session will discuss the biblical plays (not necessarily limited
to English) in the context of the manuscripts in which they survive:
the manuscript as anthology or compilation; the manuscripts' relation
to the plays as performed; the manuscript as record of performance or
highly edited text, etc.
Interested paper-writers should send me an abstract by 10 September at
the latest.
