Le Tractatus de musica, de l’aveu meme de l’auteur, est une compilation destinee a l’instruction musicale des membres de l’Ordre des Freres precheurs pour guider leur jugement en matiere de musique. Transmis par un manuscrit unique (Paris, BnF, latin 16663), il se presente comme une encyclopedie des connaissances musicales a la fin du XIIIe siecle, peut-etre la plus complete. En vingt-huit chapitres, l’auteur synthetise les connaissances recues dans l’Universite de Paris, reposant largement sur Boece, Gui d’Arezzo et Jean d’Afflighem. Il livre enfin l’etat de la reflexion contemporaine sur la composition et les notations polyphoniques de la seconde moitie du XIIIe siecle (Jean de Garlande, Francon de Cologne et Pierre le Picard). L’unique manuscrit qui transmet cette somme se compose de 94 feuillets d’un format moyen, a l’ecriture irreguliere et assez malhabile. Le texte, passablement fautif, a ete corrige par deux relecteurs et assorti de plusieurs strates d’annotations.

"...this meticulously prepared edition of an important treatise improves significantly on its predecessors. It will now serve as the standard edition of Jerome's treatise, and should find a place in all research libraries. It will benefit scholars interested in medieval music, music theory, codicology, and intellectual history." -- Jan Herlinger, The Medieval Review, 14.08.08
