The Music Sections of MS Amiens 162: Copyists, Purpose, Corbie, Confréries and the Role of Antoine de Caulaincourt
Addendum 2010
Charlotte Denoêl made an important find in the MS Amiens 162 when she recognized that what looked as some pen scratches on the top of fol. 2 in fact was Caulaincourt signature. It is written in capital letters “DE CAULAINCOURT” in the same way as he signed his name in the register of the Officialité de Saint-Pierre de Corbie (Paris, BN, ms. lat. 17.145, ff. 42v-58) during the years following 1521.
