'A milestone of state-of-the-art research by nearly all of the most active scholars in the field. The scholarship is rigorous and wide-ranging, and clearly the product of recent and ongoing colloquy between the authors and the editor… a deeply satisfying mosaic of current knowledge that richly serves both specialists and the informed general reader and that will set the research agenda for further decades.' Michael Noone in: Renaissance Quarterly LXXI (2018). "Sin duda indispensable y modélico para cualquier estudioso de la historia de la música y de sus períodos."Juan Carlos Asensio, in Anuario de Estudios Medievales 49 (2019).
