Biography

Michel Huglo is Emeritus Director of Research at the CNRS, Paris, France.

'The reproduction is to a high standard throughout, and there can be no doubt that these volumes will quickly prove themselves indispensable to the diverse range of scholars for whom Michel Huglo continues to be a guiding light.' The Library 'Huglo published three books and over two hundred articles on the history and manuscripts of Eastern and Western plainchant, late antique and medieval music theory, and early organum. Eighty of these have been reprinted as a four-volume set in Ashgate’s Variorum Collected Studies series, a dazzling display of scholarship on almost all aspects of early medieval music.'
