Pedro Memelsdorff examines a strikingly unique piece from the songbook with possible textual references to Joan of Arc, potentially making it one of the earliest musical settings to explicitly mention the French heroine. Ryan O'Sullivan, in turn, traces the position of the Leuven Chansonnier in an extensive network of sources and analyzes whether the manuscript is of French or rather Savoyard origin. Sean Gallagher also explores the 'broader world of fifteenth-century chansonniers', but does so by focusing on a single rondeau, possibly by Firminus Caron.

Two separate papers complement the thematic articles. Based on an exploration of sixteenth-century music printers from the Low Countries, Martin Ham explores how contemporary printing privileges can supplement our knowledge of early music printing with new insights. In the Research and Performance Practice Forum, Scott Metcalfe discusses Ockeghem's rondeau Je n’ay deuil, which survives in two different versions, and investigates whether both readings can indeed be attributed to the Franco-Flemish composer.

In addition to the printed version, all issues of The Journal of the Alamire Foundation are available in open access on the Brepols website.
