E. Vander Straeten, La Musique aux Pays-Bas avant le XIXe Siècle, 8 vols (G.A. Van Trigt/Schott Frères, Bruxelles 1867-1888), VII (1885), p. 316 (Google). Straeten cites A. Henne, Histoire du Regne de Charles-quint en Belgique, 10 vols (E. Flateau, Bruxelles et Leipzig 1859), VI, at p. 91 (Google): Henne, following De La Serna, mis-spells Taisnier's name as "Jean Fuisnier".
'Jean Fuisnier', in C.A. De La Serna Santander, Mémoire Historique sur la Bibliotèque dite de Bourgogne (A.J.D. De Braeckenier, Bruxelles/Frères Tilliard, Paris 1809), p. 208 (Google). La Serna cited Lodovico Guicciardini (1567): but in asserting that Taisnier was at the conquest of Tunis in 1535, he follows Tomasini (1630), who is cited also by Foppens (1739), Weidler (1741) and Carafa (1751).
