Adam von Fulda

Adam of Fulda (ca. 1445 – 1505)[1] was a German musical author of the second half of the 15th century. He was born in Fulda and died in Wittenberg. In Heinrich Glarean's Dodecachordon he is described as Francum Germanum, i.e., of German origin. Adam of Fulda calls himself at times musicus ducalis (musician of the Court). He also mentions Guillaume Dufay (1400–1474) as his contemporary. Adam of Fulda was born approximately 1445. He was educated at the Benedictine Monastery at Vornbach Abbey, where he wrote his De musica.
