Snow 1977, no. 295, revised 2007: "P. suggests some connection between CB (MS) 477 of Alfonso and the quite similar partimen between Arnaut Catalan and a variously identified Midi count. Points of contact are the risqué theme and the malicious tone. Problems which P. cannot resolve are many: the identity of the two antagonists, Arnautz and Arnaldo, as the same person, the accurate dating of the two compositions, and the nature of the events referred to. Interesting but not conclusive." |
