[Untitled]
Some of this is plagiarized from the 1907 New Werner edition of the Encyclopaedia Brittanica. Blcarson (talk) 00:31, 19 January 2017 (UTC)Ben Carson


 * Actually it is from the 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica (see the first item under References, and this revision from March 2005). It's public domain. In the early days of the project we copied a lot of stuff from here. It's fully legitimate to do so -- it's public domain -- in those days no one had any idea that Wikipedia would become such an enormous source of information for so many people, so many people just tried to fill out empty entries from that hundred-year old source -- personally I wish we hadn't used it, not just because it's so difficult to rewrite and paraphrase, but because musicological research is light-years beyond where it was then. Feel free to rewrite, of course, as there is a lot of more current information on Hucbald, and scholarship on his work and its significance is much more advanced.
