Magister Franciscus (Template:Country data 1370–80) was a French composer in the ars nova style of late Medieval music. He is known for two surviving works, the three-part ballades: De Narcissus and Phiton, Phiton, beste tres venimeuse. The former was widely distributed in his lifetime.[1]

Identity
Franciscus may be the same person as the F. Andrieu who wrote Armes, amours/O flour des flours, a déploration on the death of poet-composer Guillaume de Machaut (c. 1300–1377).[2] Although, the scholarly consensus on this identification is unclear.[n 1] He may also be Franciscus de Goano or Johannes Franchois.[1] Machaut was the most dominate and important composer of the 14th century,[3] and Franciscus's works show many similarities to his, suggesting the two were contemporaries.[1]
Music
Only two of his works survive, the three-part ballades: De Narcissus and Phiton, Phiton, beste tres venimeuse.[1] They are both contained in the Chantilly Codex.[4] Reaney notes that Magister Franciscus's works are likely earlier than Andrieu's, between 1370 and 1376.[5]
