A collection of 115 Medieval songs preserved in manuscripts which originated in the British Isles. The songs are almost exclusively clerical in origin. Some were composed in Britain, while others originated elsewhere.

"The question of whether the songs were ever accompanied ... is not answerable from the sources themselves ..."--Page xlv.

Preface in English, French, and German; introduction, editorial notes and textual commentary in English.
