A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Binchois, Egidius

BINCHOIS, Egidius, contemporary with Dufay and our own Dunstable in the first half of the 15th century. His reputation rests chiefly upon the honour in which his name was held by his successors, but of late years two manuscripts have been brought to light containing chansons and motets of his composition.
