[edit] Proposed merger
Yes, I was never aware of the John of Garland article: I hadn't encountered that form of his name. They should be merged. Andrew Dalby 19:47, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
- Just to clarify, this was not a proposal to merge the musicologist and the grammarian (in fact, it was I who separated them, I think). This was a proposal to merge the Latin and the English form of the grammarian's name. Andrew Dalby 21:11, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Merger again
I am pretty sure there is only one Johannes de Garlandia. Not only is it a pretty singular name, at least one source in my possession identifies him as a musicologist and grammarian. The dates are uncertain, I believe this is a single individual. Guy (Help!) 00:00, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
- They're two different people. More recent research, as shown in the article on Johannes de Garlandia in the online New Grove, clearly separates them, with the caveat that the name of the later individual -- the music theorist -- is not entirely certain. The most complete treatment of the issue seems to be in an article by M. Huglo: "La notation franconienne: antécédents et devenir", in La notation des musiques polyphoniques aux XI–XIIIe siècles (Poitiers, 1986) and pub as part of Cahiers de civilisation médiévale, xxxi/2 in 1988 (pp. 123–32). It's a confused issue, but the specifics of his work on music theory make it impossible for at least one of these people to have lived before the very end of the 13th century. Antandrus (talk) 15:34, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
... while this one (the grammarian), according to his autobiography, was active as a teacher from around 1220; and he lists his own works rather obsessively, and there is nothing about music in the list. (The list is quoted on the Latin page la:Iohannes de Garlandia (grammaticus).) Andrew Dalby 21:09, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
