Nicolas Volcyr de Serrouville

Nicolas Volcyr de Serrouville (c. 1480–1541), known in German as Nicolaus Wollick, was a translator, music theorist and historian, one of the most prominent figures of the Renaissance in the Duchy of Lorraine.

[2] This type of double degree, one in the Holy Roman Empire and one in France, was common in Lorraine at the time.

[2] On 8 May 1520, through the intercession of Théodore Mitte [fr], he was ennobled by Duke Antoine and took the surname "de Serrouville".

[2] Volcyr's earliest known work is his Gregoriana, a Latin treatise on Gregorian chant published at Cologne in 1501 as part of the Opus aureum of Heinrich Quentell [de].

[2][4] A revised edition under the title Enchiridion musices was published at Paris in 1509 by Jean Petit and François Regnault.
