1 Remarkably, this is the first such book on Josquin to appear in English. The Josquin Companion, ed. Richard Sherr (Oxford, 2000), though different in its objectives and the work of many hands, is the only recent publication comparable in scope. Its excellent essays, to which Fallows often has occasion to refer, take account of changes in Josquin's biography that had emerged by the late 1990s.
