Very little is known about the life of Leonin, except that he was born in Paris in 1135 and died in approximately 1201. He received his training at the [[Notre Dame]] Cathedral school in [[Paris]] and later became a priest at Notre Dame. The writings of Anonymous IV, an English theorist who worked in the late 13th century, are the only source of information about the composer. | Very little is known about the life of Leonin, except that he was born in Paris in 1135 and died in approximately 1201.
