This monograph offers a comprehensive study of the topos of the
malmariee or the unhappily married woman within the
thirteenth-century motet repertory, a vocal genre characterized by
several different texts sounding simultaneously over a foundational
Latin chant. Part I examines the malmariee motets from three
vantage points: (1) in light of contemporaneous canonist views on
marriage; (2) to what degree the French malmariee texts in the
upper voices treat the messages inherent in the underlying Latin
chant through parody and/or allegory; and (3) interactions among
upper-voice texts that invite additional interpretations focused on
gender issues. Part II investigates the transmission profile of the
motets, as well as of their refrains, revealing not only
intertextual refrain usage between the motets and other genres, but
also a significant number of shared refrains between malmariee
motets and other motets. Part II furthermore offers insights on the
chronology of composition within a given intertextual refrain
nexus, and examines how a refrain's meaning can change in a new
context. Finally, based on the transmission profile, Part II argues
for a lively interest in the topos in the 1270s and 1280s, both
through composition of new motets and compilation of earlier ones,
with Paris and Arras playing a prominent role.
