Martinus Fabri

13??-1400

Born: Netherlands

Died: The Hague, Netherlands

Nationality: Dutch

Martinus Fabri was a North Netherlandish composer of the late 14th century.

Fabri was probably either from Flanders or the Netherlands, and lived near the end of the Middle Ages. The surname "Fabri" was probably a Latinization of a name like Smit, Smeets or perhaps Le Fèvre (all meaning "smith") (Wegman 1992, 192). Little is known about his life. Apart from an undated mention of his name in the records of the church of St Donatian, Bruges, he is known to have been a singer at the court of Holland at The Hague from 1395 until his death in May 1400 (Reaney 2001).
