Machaut was both a poet and a composer, and he took great pains to preserve his artistic creations in complete-works manuscripts that were lavishly illustrated and illuminated. This pair of talks by Ardis Butterfield of Yale University, a specialist in medieval French literature and music, and Domenic Leo, the world’s foremost expert on the Machaut illustrations, offers a guide to the forms, genres, and themes of 14th-century lyric poetry and a survey of the visual art in the Machaut manuscripts. We’ll also include a demonstration of middle French pronunciation.


This event will take place in Margaret Jewett Hall at First Church in Cambridge.
