- The book is c.140,000 words in length, with 15 photographic images and a map. It is based on primary research materials, mostly unpublished. The narrative addresses musical life at an important ecclesiastical foundation in the later Middle Ages, using hundreds of contemporary documents in Latin and late-medieval French. The work involved was direct archival study of documents in the town library of Saint-Omer, and the local archives départementales in Arras. Skills deployed were in the languages themselves, in reading contemporary, heavily abbreviated scripts, and interpretative skills concerning musical practices, regional and international history, canon law, currencies, late-medieval crafts etc.
