The Puy Manuscript (French Le manuscrit du Puy) is an important musical manuscript of early church music from the Cathédrale Notre-Dame-de-l'Annonciation du Puy-en-Velay. The manuscript contains monodic and polyphonic chant and motets from the 12th to 16th Centuries.[1][clarification needed] The manuscript has been made widely known through the studies of Swiss musicologist Wulf Arlt and performances and recording led by Dominique Vellard.[2][3]
