Bonifacio Calvo, "Er quan vei glassatz los rius" (BdT 101.3)

Abstract

This paper reviews the bibliography concerning Bonifacio Calvo and underlines the need for new research into his role within troubadour literature, focused mainly on his poems. In particular, the study analyzes Er quan vei glassatz los rius (BdT 101.3), one of the clearest examples of the poetical influence of Arnaut Daniel’s style in the second half of the 13th century: the poem derives its coblas dissolutas and some of its rhymes from Er vei vermeils, vertz, blaus, blancs, groecs (BdT 29.4), which is its primary poetical model.
