Anonymous music scribe Dij-B / Ric-B

Biography

Music scribe whose hand can be identified as the second copyist of the chansonnier I-Fr MS 2794 (Ric; scribe Ric-B), who also copied three added pieces in the chansonnier Dij (scribe Dij-B) :

[158] f. 187v-189 Rubinus - Entre Peronne et Saint Quentin
Unique variant version (B) of the song (A) with a different (new?) Ct
[159] f. 189v-191 Loyset Compère - Ne doibt on prendre quant on donne
"Bourbon" in the upper left corner of first folio, probably as text ascription
[160] f. 191v-192 Loyset Compère - Dictes moy toutes vos pensees

He thus copied twice the song Dictes moy toutes vos pensees with important variants between the two witnesses.
