Sur Jean Britoni a Rome SP, Reynolds 1995:
• p.39: Regarding the scribal payments, see chapter 4. A Johannes Britoni in artibus magister from the Norman diocese of Avranches was at the Council of Basel in 1440; Concilium Basiliense: Studien und Quellen zur Geschichte des Concils yon Basel , 7:44. Other possible references to him are at Treviso in 1448, where Johannes Brit cantor may have served as magister; at Mantua (or Ferrara) in 1460, where a Giovanni Brith sang "moderno maxime arie alla Veneziana"; and in Udine, where Giovanni Britti was maestro di cappella at the cathedral in 1471; see Giovanni D'Alessi, La cappella musicale del duomo di Treviso (1300-1633) , 44-45; and Giuseppe Vale, "La cappella musicale del duomo di Udine," 95.
•p.99: Book-related payments that survive from Nicholas V's years pertain not to copying but to extensive repairs. Britoni worked from September 1452 into February 1453 mending and binding missals and other books of the choir (docs. 1452b, d, and 1453a-c). For his efforts he received 7 ducats papales , equivalent to what Ausquier later received for SPB80.
• p.199: Then in October 1455 three salaried singers returned to the basilica, Guillelmus along with the northerners [p. 199] Johannes Corbie and Britoni. Since these two others had been at St. Peter's for several years—Corbie may have arrived as early as 1449 or 1450, and Britoni was there by September 1452—there is the possibility that Guillelmus had been rehired as well.
