F. Rubinet

F. Rubinet, sometimes given as Robinet, was a French composer and singer active in Florence, Italy. Six compositions credited to F. Rubinet were copied in Florence in the 1490s and are extant in the collection at the National [Central Library (Florence)|National Central Library in Florence]. Scholars speculate that this composer is the same person as a cantor, "Robinetto francioso cantore", employed at the Santissima Annunziata, Florence in 1482–1483, and a 'contro alto' "fratrem Rubinectum franciosum" employed at the Florence Cathedral in 1506–1507. His compositions appear to have been influenced by Loyset Compère, and use a similar 'cycle of fifths' utilized in Compère's compositions.
It is speculated by some, that F. Rubinet may be the composer of the ballad Entre Peronne et Saint Quentin ascribed to a Rubinus found in seven sources dating back to as early as 1460. However, other musicians have also been proposed as the author of this work.
