* I am indebted to Dr Jason Stoessel for drawing my attention to Prof. Bonnie Blackburn's research where she reports that in his Prattica di musica (1592) Zacconi informs us he was told by Lassus the duo vel non should be sung then followed by the four-part setting: Bonnie J. Blackburn "Two Treasure Chests of Canonic Antiquities: The Collections of Hermann Fink and Lodovico Zacconi" in Canons and Canonic Techniques 14th-16th Centuries: Theory, Practice, and Reception History, eds. Katelijne Schiltz and Bonnie J. Blackburn, Uitgeverij Peeters, Leuven, Belgium, 2007, p. 320.
