Josquin des Prez? I've sung some Missa from him with wildly augmented

That would be early 16th century.
Wouldn't have been notated like that in those days - they would have
used coloratio.
So? Modern practices of printing Renaissance music are different from
contemporary practices. They are still different from modern practices
of printing Classic music.
