'… I can only underline the importance of this work which fills an obvious gap in the historiography of medieval music … This book offers more than a 'Discovery' of the conduit, as its title invites us to believe, but in reality offers a deep immersion in medieval creation.' Anne-Zoé Rillon-Marne, Revue de musicologie
