Guillem Raimon ~ Ferrarino da Ferrara "Amics Ferrairi ~ Amics en Raimon" (BdT 229.1a = 150.1)

Abstract

This paper focuses on Amics Ferrairi ~ Amics en Raimon, an exchange of coblas between en Raimon Guillem and Ferrairi, according to the text of the single manuscript P. The analysis of the manuscript tradition and the chronology of other compositions related to the court of Este and its cultural milieu suggest identifying the partenaires with Guillem Raimon and Ferrarino da Ferrara: the coauthors have composed a piece in praise of a marquis of Este, who can be identified with Azzo VII. A new critical edition with commentary is provided.
