This is the first twentieth-century study of the women troubadours who flourished in Southern France between 1150 and 1250 — the great period of troubadour poetry. The book is comprised of a full-length essay on women in the Middle Ages, twenty-three poems by the women troubadours themselves in the original Provencal with translations on facing pages, a capsule biography of each poet, notes, and reading list.
De A autant d’argent que de pesolhs à Virar coma un baciu fagord, ce sont plus de 1000 expressions et dictons occitans, enracinés au plus profond de notre quotidien, qui sont réunis et expliqués dans cet ouvrage. A leur source, l’observation et l’imagination pour les unes : Aimable coma una mosca d’ase ; Aver d’argent coma un chin de nièras ; Aver un cuol coma un amolaire ; Cargat coma un muol; Curios coma un pet ; Dormir coma una missara. la musicalité et la rime qui facilitent la mémorisation pour les autres : Al mes d’abriu, Io cocut canta, mort o viu ; Auba roja, vent o ploja ; Cada topin troba sa cabucèla ; Es lo matin que la jornada se pèrd o se ganha ; Grèc, pluèja al bec ; La raça raceja. Tous ont été choisis par l’auteur à partir d’enquêtes et de lectures personnelles.
In 1209 Simon of Montfort led a war against the Cathars of Languedoc after Pope Innocent III preached a crusade condemning them as heretics. The suppression of heresy became a pretext for a vicious war that remains largely unstudied as a military conflict. Laurence Marvin here examines the Albigensian Crusade as military and political history rather than religious history, and traces these dimensions of the conflict through to Montfort’s death in 1218. He shows how Montfort experienced military success in spite of a hostile populace, impossible military targets, armies that dissolved every forty days, and a pope who often failed to support the crusade morally or financially. He also discusses the supposed brutality of the war, why the inhabitants were for so long unsuccessful at defending themselves against it, and its impact on Occitania. This original account will appeal to scholars of medieval France, the Crusades, and medieval military history.
LAURENCE W. MARVIN is Associate Professor of History at the Evans School of Humanities, Berry College, Georgia.
Montaillou: un petit village de montagnards et de bergers en haute Auriège, à 1 300 mètres d’altitude. En 1320, Jacques Fournier, évêque de Pamiers, plus tard pape d’Avignon, y déploie ses talents d’inquisiteur. Il finit par déterrer tous les secrets du village.
Rien n’échappe à cet évêque fureteur, ni les vies intimes, ni les drames de l’existence quotidienne.
En s’appuyant sur cet extraordinaire document de Jacques Fournier, sorte de roman vrai du petit peuple du XIV siècle, Emmanuel Le Roy Ladurie ressuscite, en utilisant les méthodes historiques et ethnographiques les plus actuelles, la réalité occitane et cathare d’il y a six cent cinquante ans.

From Petrarch and Dante to Pound and Eliot, the influence of the troubadours on European poetry has been profound. They have rightly stimulated a vast amount of critical writing, but the majority of modern critics see the troubadour tradition as a corpus of earnestly serious and confessional love poetry, with little or no humour. Troubadours and Irony re-examines the work offiveearly troubadours, namely Marcabru, Bernart Marti, Peire d’Alvernha, Raimbaut d’Aurenga and Giraut de Borneil, to argue that the courtly poetry of Southern France in the twelfth century was permeated with irony and that many troubadour songs were playful, laced with humorous sexual innuendo and far from serious; attention is also drawn to the large corpus of texts that are not love poems, but comic or satirical songs. New interpretations of many problematic troubadour poems are offered; in some cases the received view of a troubadour’s work is questioned. New perspectives on the tradition as a whole are suggested, and consequently on courtly culture in general. The author addresses the philological problems, by no means negligible, posed by the texts in question, and several poems are re-edited from the manuscripts.
Aran ath long dera sua millenària existéncia a anat configurant ua simbologia pròpia, uns senhaus d’identitat, ua istòria e un patrimòni d’identificacion collectiua.
Auem er escut qu’ei reflèxe e expression dea nòsta istòria. Sintèssis de toti es elements: Lengua, Istòria, Art, Territòri e Volentat collectiua; Diuersitat e convivéncia. Er escut sintetise toti aguesti element d’arraötz popular e eth pòble les identifique coma pròpis.
Angel Claveria a sabut articular tot eth contengut simbolic en aguestes quate planes, Mos cau emplegar e mantier es simbèus entà permanéisher coma pòble.
