Abstract

This paper will provide new editions, with critical apparatus, commentary and translation, of Ja no cujey que·m pogues oblidar (BdT 10.30) and S’ieu hanc chantiei alegres ni jauzens (BdT 10.48). In particular, the analysis will focus on a new hypothesis concerning authorship of S’ieu hanc chantiei: the planhs Ja no cujey and S’ieu hanc chantiei, dedicated to Azzo VI d’Este and Bonifacio di Sambonifacio (count of Verona), are transmitted, respectively, by CDEIKR and CR. Although the whole manuscript tradition assigns the texts to Aimeric de Pegulhan, there are some elements that could cast doubt as to the authorship of S’ieu hanc chantiei, first of all the fact that songbooks CR assign to the same troubadour two planhs dedicated to the same noblemen. This new hypothesis on authorship is also illustrated by an analysis of the entire manuscript tradition of Occitan planhs.
