Where it came from
Published in 2016 by Taylor & Francis as part of the Routledge Library Editions series, this work represents a focused musicological investigation into the identity of the author behind the Speculum Musicae, the most comprehensive treatise on music theory from the fourteenth century. Margaret Bent, a distinguished musicologist known for her exhaustive archival research, synthesized decades of scholarly inquiry to identify the mysterious 'Jacobus' as Jacobus de Ispania, a figure associated with the intellectual circles of the University of Paris.
The text is grounded in Bent’s rigorous paleographic and historical methodology, designed to resolve a long-standing debate within medieval musicology regarding the origins of the Ars Nova era. By connecting archival evidence to the structural nuances of the treatise, Bent sought to provide a definitive historical anchor for the work. The monograph has been received as a foundational contribution to the study of medieval music, valued by scholars for its meticulous evidence and its effort to contextualize the Speculum Musicae within the social and academic landscape of the mid-1300s.
