Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall:

  • @The C of E: I've got several sourcing issues. Namely:
  • "During Medieval times, Christmas carols had started to develop a separate style from ordinary Christian hymns" - I can't find this in the source cited inline
  • "it is presumed to have been written between 1510 and 1520" - the source says "Anthology of mostly secular pieces probably copied in London ca. 1510-1520". It was copied in that time range, but was it written then?
  • the quote in source [9], which is offline
