1. We now know for sure that Willaert was in Ferrara (and later also in Hungary) from 1515 on, at the service of Cardinal Ippolito d'Este; see L. Lockwood, "Josquin at Ferrara: New Documents and Letters," in]osquin des Prez: Proceedings of the International ]osquin Festival-Conference, New York, 1971, ed. E. E. Lowinsky and B. J. Blackburn (London, 1976), p. 119ff. The information about the trip to Rome, which Willaert probably made when he came to Italy from Flanders at the time of Leo X, is known from an anecdote told by G. Zarlino in the last chapter of his Dimostrazioni harmoniche, in the Venice editions of 1558 and 1573.
