Is the catalogue here actually prepared by Machaut or is it a later work on the basis of the mentioned "... order in which ..."?217.159.182.51 11:17, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

The order in this is that of the complete works as compiled by Leo Schrade, which I believe is based off Machaut's manuscript E, the final one prepared during Machaut's life (dated approximately 1370). The abbreviations beforehand, though not Machaut's, have been accepted with scholarly currency, hence their inclusion. Anderfreude (talk) 01:29, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
