What were the methods and educational philosophies of music teachers in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance? What did students study? What were the motivations of teacher and student? Contributors to this volume address these topics and other—including gender, social status, and the role of the Church—to better understand the identities of music teachers and students from 650 to 1650 in Western Europe. This volume provides an expansive view of the beginnings of music pedagogy, and shows how the act of learning was embedded in the broader context of the early Western art music tradition.

While there has been a great tradition of scholarship in medieval manuscripts, most studies have focused on the details of manuscript production by male copyists. In this study, Cynthia J. Cyrus demonstrates the prevalence of manuscript production by women monastics and challenges current assumptions of how manuscripts circulated in the late medieval period. Drawing on extensive research into the surviving manuscripts of over 450 women's convents, the author assesses the genres common to women's convent libraries emphasizing a social rather than a codicological understanding of how manuscripts of women's libraries came to be copied.An engaging mix of biography, women's history, and book history, The Scribes for Women's Convents in Late Medieval Germany will change the way medieval manuscripts are understood and studied.

Just as Brainard's interests and scholarship crossed several disciplines, the essays collected here acknowledge her range of influence and her inclusive spirit. Performative dance and dance history, social history, and musicological issues are all explored, touching on topics from the later Renaissance back through the Carolingian Empire. The interconnected themes are presented in three sections: first creating the repertory, by looking at the contexts of musical creation; then interpreting it, through the performance, meaning, and social identity of dances; and finally discussing potential reevaluations, based on the location of musical performances, aspects of transcription difficulties and compositional techniques, dance-historical scrutiny, and a comparison of a shared genre in music and dance.
