The humanist scholar who was responsible for making the first attempt to edit the Greek text of the new testament by a comparison of extant manuscripts is: Desiderius Erasmus.
He was the first songwriter to write single-handedly a polyphonic setting of the mass standard, a work that has been documented in modern performance. In most of this four-part setting, he employs the characteristic Ars Nova style of isorhythm
Machaut helped create the motet and secular song forms (particularly the lai and the formes fixes: rondeau, virelai and ballade). Machaut wrote the Messe de Nostre Dame, the before known complete background of the Ordinary of the Mass attributable to a single composer.
