Edition by Andrea Tondi

Developed by Elisa Nury

The Manuscript

The prosification of La chanson de la croisade contre les albigeois is a long narrative and historical text written between the XIV and the XV century. Its author is unknown and he can be identified with a jurist because of the beginning of the text itself, in which it can be found a reference to Codex Iuris Civilis. The text is preserved by 3 manuscripts, Paris (BNF fr. 4975), Carpentras (BI 1829), Toulouse (BM 608). The second one is a copy of the first one, because they share a lack of pages;instead the third one is complete but shorter in some passages.

The Edition

The purpose of this digital edition is to show all the differeces of the two manuscripts considered for the philological work, Paris and Toulouse. In particular we want to display the two different dialect forms in which the text is presented, and also the peculiar phenomena of each manuscript: in this way, the reader can understand its complex tradition.
