fol. 46v

Book two, chapter three: On canons

sobre la segunda boz, y muy mas quando la tal boz queda muy lexos, ansi como con pausa de breve, o va muy presto, ansi como con pausa de minima.

Exemplo de como se pueden hazer las fugas en subdyatesaron con pausa de breve y de semibreve y de minima, la qual como dicho es se haze con trabajo y es de poca suavidad.

[Ex. 56a-c] Exemplo

with the second voice, especially when it is placed very far [from the first one], as with a breve rest, or when it appears very fast, as with a minim rest.

Example: how to make canons at the fourth below with breve, semibreve and minim rests, the latter being, as said above, laborious, and not very sweet.

[Ex. 56a-c] Example

à la deuxième voix, surtout quand elle reste très éloignée de la première, comme avec les silences de brève, ou lorsqu’elle est très proche, comme avec les silences de minime.

Exemple : comment faire des canons à la quarte inférieure avec des silences de brève, de semi-brève et de minime, ces derniers étant, comme on l’a dit, laborieux et peu suaves.

Aonque por las fugas hechas en subdytesaron [sic] se muestra claramente como se pueden hazer las fugas en diapente por que mas façilmente se vea, la misma fuga es abaxo puesta, y la manera que se deve tener quando fuere hecha con pausa de breve, quando con de semibreve y de minima, y lo mismo quando en sub dyapente.

[Ex. 57a] Exemplo

Although by showing how to make canons at the fourth below it should as well be clear how to make canons at the fifth above, an example is shown below to make it even clearer. It also shows how to proceed with breve, semibreve, and minim rests as well as how to make this same canon at the fifth below.

[Ex. 57a] Example

Bien qu’on ait montré, avec les canons à la quarte inférieure, comment on pouvait faire ceux à la quinte, pour qu’on le voie plus facilement, ce canon apparaît ci-dessous, ainsi que la manière à adopter lorsqu’il est fait avec des silences de brève, de semi-brève et de minime, ainsi qu’à la quinte inférieure.
