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.

For most of his life, he worked in a church called "Beatae Mariae Virginis" and very likely worked as a choirmaster in the completed Notre Dame cathedral in Paris. He is especially known for his development and original writing of [[polyphony|polyphonic]] music (music that has two or more lines occurring at the same time), in a style known as [[Ars Antiqua]] (the ancient art).
