From Vulgar Latin to Old Provençal

By Frede Jensen

This study examines the Old Proven al language on the basis of philological interpretations of a few selected texts, both prose and poetry. The secondary source material includes a razo and two vidas from the troubadour biographies, as well as three poems selected from the works of Bernart de Ventadorn, the Countess of D a, and Giraut de Bornelh. The linguistic commentary is extensive enough to offer an overview of Proven al historical grammar.
