Capturing Sound: The Art of William de Brailes in °ÅÀÖ¶ÌÊÓƵ MS 322
Issue number

Notes category
Fabulous and enigmatic marginalia adorn the folios of MS 322, a psalter completed c. 1238–1252 in the workshop of William de Brailes in Oxford. Could the pen flourishes be abstract visualizations of sound, possibly reflecting the shifting nature of musical theory in the thirteenth century?
