IIIF Manifest
This MS is of prime importance for the history of Trouvère song: it contains 481 songs by Thibaut de Navarre, Gilles le Vinier, Gillebert de Berneville, Richart de Fournival, Gace Brulé, etc. 358 of these works are preserved with music. The motet fascicle runs from f. 179-197 and consists of 3 gatherings. One work which appears outside the motet fascicle as a monodic song is taken into consideration here, since it is known as part-music in Mo and W2. The manuscript is neatly written in a typical chansonnier script, but not in the most refined hand. The music is missing for many songs but not for the motets, though the T are often erroneous. The part of the MS containing the songs is f. 1-176v and f. 224-233. Between f. 197 and f. 216 are some verses on Arras written in 2 columns, while between f. 218 and f. 222 is an unfinished poem on death, also in 2 columns. Although there are 1 four-part and 5 three-part motets in the collection, two-part works predominate, among which the Rondeaux with T published by Gennrich are of special interest.

RISM Description
RISM B/IV 1: A parchment manuscript dating from c. 1300 and meas. 307 x 118 mm., the so-called Chansonnier Noailles contains 233 folios numbered at t.r.r. in 18th century ink. There are at the front 1 and at the rear 2 18th century paper flyleaves, while 4 modern blank unnumbered paper flyleaves also appear at each end of the manuscript. The back two 18th century flyleaves contain an index of songs beginning either at L or P, together with a list of song-writers. The manuscript is of prime importance for the history of Trouvère song, for it contains 481 songs by Thibaut de Navarre, Gilles le Vinier, Gillebert de Berneville, Richart de Fournival, Gace Brulé, etc. 358 of these works are preserved with music. The motet fascicle extends from f. 179-197 and consists of 3 gatherings. One work which appears outside the motet fascicle as a monodic song is taken into consideration here, since it is known as part-music in Mo and W2. The manuscript is neatly written in a typical chansonnier script, but not in the most refined hand. Initials use gold as well as blue and red simultaneously. The music is notated in undifferentiated longs and ligatures, mostly on red five-line staves for the songs, while the polyphony takes up 12 four-line staves per page. The music is missing for many songs but not for the motets, though the T are often erroneous. The part of the ms containing the songs is f. 1-176v and f. 224-233. Between f. 197 and f. 216 are some verses on Arras written in 2 columns, while between f. 218 and f. 222 is an unfinished poem on death, also in 2 columns. The binding of light brown morocco over pulp boards with gilt tooling and title on the spine probably dates from the 18th century. Although there are 1 four-part and 5 three-part motets in the collection, two-part works predominate, among which the Rondeaux with T published by Gennrich are of special interest.
