Fauvel Studies - Allegory, Chronicle, Music and Image in Paris, Bibliotheque Nationale MS Francais 146 (Hardcover)

The manuscript Paris, Bibliothèque Nationale, fonds français 146, one of the most sumptuous and important of the fourteenth century, stands as an unparalleled witness to the politics, society, and culture of the French royal court in the early fourteenth century. It contains an interpolated version of the Roman de Fauvel, completed by Gervès de Bus in 1314, that uniquely combines the Old French text with music setting poetry in French and Latin, high-quality illuminations (including early depictions of the architecture of medieval Paris), and further literary elaborations and additions. This volume assembles papers by leading medievalists and younger scholars in different fields. Generously illustrated, it includes essential new reference material for medievalists in political, social and urban history, art and architectural history, musicology, the history of the book and codicology, and medieval languages and literatures, principally Old French and Latin.
