A Handbook of the Troubadours (Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies, UCLA)

"The Handbook provides an extensive apprenticeship tour into medieval Occitan studies, illustrating richly their challenges and rewards. A wonderful resource for the novice as well as the specialist, a vast mine of up-to-date information."--Michel-Andreacute; Bossy, editor of Medieval Debate Poetry "This work will certainly be a must for every scholar working on the troubadours, and perhaps also for non-specialist medievalists. Its attention to the nitty-gritty of scholarship--manuscripts, editing, language, rhetoric, etc.--is what makes it so unique and helpful. It will be on the top of my bibliography when I teach the troubadours."--Stephen G. Nichols, author of Romanesque SignsF. R. P.
