Peter T. Ricketts, Honorary Professor
of French at the University of Birmingham, and Emeritus Professor at
Queen Mary and Westfield, University of London, has led a long and
distinguished career in the field of Romance Philology, and in Occitan
studies in particular.
In addition to his leading rôle in the
Association Internationale d'Etudes Occitanes (AIEO), he has
devoted many years in the service of Occitan Studies. Peter T. Ricketts
is perhaps especially noted for an in-progress edition (with Cyril P.
Hershon) of the Breviari d'Amor by Matfre Ermengaud, and for the
Concordance of Medieval Occitan (CMO), a vast database the aim of which
is to document the entire corpus of medieval Occitan texts and to make
them available in electronic format as an active and exhaustive working
tool for all scholars in the field. The first tranche of this project,
on the poetry of the troubadours (Brepols 2001), has already been
received with wide critical acclaim.
The present publication includes
articles by 63 specialists in fields as wide-ranging as history,
literature, linguistics, philology, musicology, metrics and philosophy,
addressing sources and topics from a variety of provenances in Old
French and Old Occitan, as also in Medieval Latin, Castilian, Catalan,
Middle High German, Hispano-Arabic, and Hebrew.
It is divided into two major sections.
The first is concerned with narrative texts: romance, epic, and
religious literature; the second with the poetry of the troubadours:
firstly their lyric legacy, its sources and influences, the vidas which
accompany their transmission, the troubadours themselves, but also
instances of their non-lyric output such as proverbs and ensenhamens.
Also among the articles are editions of texts, some hitherto
unpublished.
Taken together, this collection
represents a very broad panorama of current research, and offers a
major contribution to the advancement of Medieval Studies.
