Abstract

Notated manuscripts were common among the Latin communities established in the Eastern Mediterranean during the 12th and 13th centuries, taking on a role beyond ritual and entertainment by becoming vessels for the crusaders’ European heritage. This paper will provide an analysis of these first known cases of notated music-making in a non-European setting, illuminating a crucial aspect of the multicultural exchange among different Latin-European and local Eastern cultures and pointing out the relevance of music to areas such as pre-modern communication and Eurocentric bias in academia.
