[+] Anderson, Gordon A. "Clausulae or Transcribed-Motets in the Florence Manuscript?" Acta musicologica 42 (1970): 109-28.

The clausulae of Florence, Biblioteca Mediceo-Laurenziana, Pluteo 29.1 are not transcriptions of motets. Many of the clausulae have short melismas at the end, which would render them unrelated to existing motets. Anomalies in notation do exist, but these can be reconciled through the application of standard fractio modi and the use of some system of equipollentia, already in use in the cum littera sections of contemporary conductus.
