Publisher's Synopsis
The book ""The Troubadours of Dante: Being Selections from the Works of the Provencal Poets Quoted by Dante"" is a collection of poems and songs written by the troubadours of medieval Provence, France. The book has been compiled and edited by H. J. Chaytor, who has selected the works that were quoted by Dante Alighieri in his famous work, ""The Divine Comedy"". The troubadours were poets and musicians who lived in the 12th and 13th centuries and wrote in the Occitan language, which was spoken in the south of France. Their works were often about love, chivalry, and courtly life, and they were known for their intricate and complex poetic forms. In this book, Chaytor has selected the works of the troubadours that were referenced by Dante in his epic poem. The book includes translations of the original Occitan poems into English, as well as commentary and analysis of the poems and their context. Overall, ""The Troubadours of Dante"" provides a fascinating insight into the world of medieval Provence and the poetry that inspired one of the greatest works of literature in history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
