About This Item
Paris: D. de Selliers, 2006. Hardcover. VG, slight rub marks on covers, sticker residue inside endpaper.. Blue cloth covers, gilt lettering. 1 v. (382 pp.): coul. illustrations. This book brings together 110 poems from the 12th to the 15th century that constitute a remarkable part of our literary heritage. A libretto reproduces these poems in their original language: Oc language, oïl language and middle French. Guillaume IX, Arnaut Daniel, Colin Muset, Rutebeuf, Adam de la Halle, Guillaume de Machaut, Christine de Pizan, Charles d'Orléans, François Villon, more than fifty poets represent the four founding centuries of our poetry. From the delicacy of the first love songs to the refinement of the ballads, this book reveals a universe endowed with unexpected emotional strength and freedom of mind. In his preface, Michel Zink, a member of the Institute and a professor at the Collège de France, shows how these four centuries of medieval lyricism, full of love, resonates with the shimmering art of the extreme end of the Middle Ages. From precious manuscripts made mainly in the 14th and 15th centuries, 200 works accompany the 110 poems. They reinforce the allegorical universe of poets by the fine contours, the brilliance of the colors, mixing flamboyant Gothic and courteous refinement. Bartholomew of Eyck, Jean Fouquet, the brothers of Limburg, Simon Marmoin, Robinet Testard are among the great masters. Beyond an original iconographic repertoire - Deduce gardens, castles of Love, offerings of heart - these paintings bear witness to the creativity and talent of artists of the Middle Ages. This book combines the emotion of poetry with the riches of medieval painting.
