He was an accomplished, innovative, and influential composer, and may also have been the author of the "Ars Nova" treatise. He was widely acknowledged as the greatest musician of his day, with Petrarch writing a glowing tribute, calling him: "... the keenest and most ardent seeker of truth, so great a philosopher of our age."
