File talk:Öffentlich durchgeführte medizinische Behandlung auf einem französischen Jahrmarkt.jpg

This is neither by Louis de Caullery nor is its date correct at 1642. The german title for the file is given as "Öffentlich durchgeführte medizinische Behandlung auf einem französischen Jahrmarkt". Public medical treatment at a french fair. This is not correct. This is in Flanders. As to wether this is a play and actors or some travelling medical show is not known.

This is in fact from the 1542 Cambrai MS specifically it is Cambrai, Bibl. mun., ms. 0126, B f. 053 - vue 1 (this is from the contra tenor part).

The image comes from one of 4 partbooks from 1542, Bruges, Flanders. They were created for Zeghere van Male, a wealthy merchant - part of the upper middle class. They contain dutch and french songs, italian madrigals and a few instrumental pieces including dances as well as some sacred works popular in Bruges at the time. They are huge works with over 300 pages in each book and offer a unique insight into what was popular in the upper middle class at the time - and show the great diversity both in language and music.

They are held at Library Municipal de Cambrai, France.

I shall edit the descriptions to reflect this.
