Magister Zacharias

Nicolaus Zacharie (c.1400 or before – 1466) was an Italian composer of the early Renaissance. Until recently he had been confused with the earlier composer Zacara da Teramo, but recent research has established his identity; he was one of a few native Italian composers working in the early 15th century whose work has survived. He was probably from Brindisi or somewhere nearby, on the evidence of papal archives. The earliest solid record of his life is February 7
