5.0 out of 5 stars
Provençal poetry cornerstone,
By Leonardo Malcovati (lich@iname.com) (Milan, Italy) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Cansos and Sirventes of the Troubadour, Giraut de Borneil: A Critical Edition (Hardcover)
Giraut de Bornelh is certainly one of the most important Provencal troubadours and a cornerstone of European poetry, being much imitated, among the others, by the Dolce Stil Novo and Petrarca. This edition covers all his work with extreme philological accuracy, and is a must-have for all interested in formal poetry. The format, though, is a bit distressing, and the fact that no quote (aside from Giraut's songs) is translated, makes it a bit of an awkward, though enticing, reading. An exhaustive introduction and accurate notes are provided.
