Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Aucassin Nicolette: Translated From the Old French the Old French The most lyric and lovely of early French romances is preserved to us by a single copy in the National Library of Paris. Without that one ill-written manuscript the world would have been poorer by how exquisite a dream! Had not this unique bloom remained, it would have been impossible to imagine that so rare and delicate a flower could have sprung in the unsheltered fields of mediaeval France. The author and the date of the famous cante-fable are alike unknown. He speaks of himself at the beginning of his work as the "viel caitif." Some have considered, therefore, that the writer was an old soldier, escaped from amongst the Saracens. But the words translated aged captive might mean just as reasonably the unfortunate old man one who was rather the prisoner of life. Only this seems sure that the author of Aucassin and Nicolette was a professional minstrel, and one who no longer rejoiced in his youth.
