Colleagues might also enjoy these images of polyphonic singers (as far as I know, the first times polyphony has been depicted)- both at Assisi

Dear medieval-religion colleagues,

It does the heart good to see that such major discoveries continue to be made. 

It’s from the early 900s (not 1900s, but 900s), and it’s a chant dedicated to St Boniface.


Best wishes, George
