Michel Beheim (1416 or 1421 Sulzbach
bei Heilbronn - 1474 or 1478)  was one of the most important singers
and song publishers of the Late Middle Ages. His ''Buch von den
Wienern'' is the oldest of his thre chronologies in strophic form and
was written in the days when he was in the service of Emperor Friedrich
III. Beheim describes the events of the years 1462 to 1465  and accuses
the Viennese bourgeoisie of fecklessness and perfidy over and over
again. Obviously this was no way to endear  himself to the Viennese. In
the end he too lost the imperial favor and moved to Heidelberg. That is
the purported autograph copy of his book is still kept in the
University Library. The illustration shows the first page of the
manuscript and you can listen to the analagous musical example too. (E.
Stadler)
