Prosopographie des chantres de la Renaissance
-
The Prosopography of Renaissance Singers is an online project in constant evolution since its inception in 2007-2009. It is part of a project funded by the French National Agency of Research (ANR), in collaboration with the University of Rouen, the Centre for Renaissance Studies (CESR) at the University of Tours, Tours, and Le STUDIUM, an agency of the CNRS in the Région Centre Val de Loire. The aim of the project is to centralise and publish the biographical data of professional singers trained to perform polyphony active in Europe between 1350 and 1600, on the basis of a census of the principal choral institutions of that period: the princely chapels and the groups of singers (of widely varying constitutions) in the paid employment of the most important ecclesiastical chapters (cathedrals or collegiate churches). In principle no geographical limit has been imposed on the project, although in practice the majority of the files processed to this point concern individuals connected to the Kingdom of France and the Low Countries (present-day Belgium and Netherlands), with a particular focus on the years between about 1440 and 1530.
