The most authoritative source for our knowledge of the epochal rhythmic practices of the Notre Dame School is the treatise De mensurabili musica, written around 1240 by Johannes de Garlandia. He was a lecturer (magister) at the University of Paris, possibly the very one from whom the author of Anonymus IV learned what he passed on to us. His name derives from his university affiliation: the clos de Garlande was a colony on the left bank of the Seine where many members of the university arts faculty made their homes.
