The Montpellier Codex is a significant manuscript that contains a collection of works by various composers from the late Middle Ages, particularly focusing on the genre of medieval music known as polyphony. It is primarily known for its contributions to the understanding of early music notation and the development of musical styles during that period. The codex is believed to have been produced in the 13th century, and it is named after the city of Montpellier in France, where it is kept in the municipal library.
