En vray Amoure

Textual Commentary

[edit | edit source]

“En vray Amoure” appears as an incipit in H in only one of four voices. A space has been left in all voices for a large block initial capital, but none appears. There is little room left among the musical notation for text. This piece is not listed in the manuscript’s table of contents.

“En vray Amoure” is reprinted in Stevens MCH8 62 and elsewhere.
