3 BNF latin 14741 is one of the two witnesses to the text edited by Reaney et al. as Vitry's Ars nova (Philippi de Vitriaco Ars nova, ed. G. Reaney, A. Gilles and J. Maillard, Corpus scriptorum de musica 8 ([Rome]: American Institute of Musicology, 1964), p. 32). The Compendium totius artis motetorum is also close to the Vitrian tradition, and is copied in the earliest manuscript source extant for any of the Vitrian texts: Erfurt, Wissenschaftliche Allgemeinbibliothek, Ms. 8° 94, fols 68v–70 (c.1350). The treatise is edited in Wolf, Johannes, ‘Ein anonymer Musiktraktat aus der ersten Zeit der “Ars Nova”’, Kirchenmusikalisches Jahrbuch 21 (1908), pp. 33–8Google Scholar, at p. 37.
