A question, and a possible correction.<br>
<br>
Has the dating on "Odo" been revised? I had always thought he
predated<br>
Guido of Arezzo by a few years. (The online NGD2 entry on modal
theory<br>
still lists him as such, as of 10 min. ago...:)<br>
<br>
Guido definitely uses the seven-letter notation system in both
the _Regule<br>
rithmice_ and the _Micrologus_, using an analogy to the 7 days
of the week<br>
that I believe is also used by Ps-Odo--no access just at the
moment to check.<br>
No idea if that analogy is original with Ps-Odo or was some sort
of common<br>
coinage--if anyone has info one way or another on that I'd love
to hear it.:)<br>
