" For these reasons, Lanford contends that " by glossing over the presence of isorhythmic techniques in thirteenth-century motets, such as those found in fascicles two through five of the " Montpellier Codex ", scholars have thus limited the appellation of'isorhythm'using criteria that is well-reasoned, yet perhaps unnecessarily restrictive ."
