Gautier de Coinci (c. 1177-1236) was a
Benedictine prior, a poet and composer, and the author of several
very popular religious works, including a large collection of
Miracles of the Virgin in French, which enjoyed a wide circulation
during the Middle Ages. Gautier drew on multiple Latin sources for
his work, embellishing and personalizing them as he adapted them to
his poetic design. Conceiving of his collection of miracles as a
complete work, Gautier carefully organized the tales into two
books, framing each with authorial exordia and lyrics
praising the Virgin. In addition to its obvious literary interest,
the subsequent manuscript tradition offers a remarkable panorama of
medieval manuscript production, in particular due to the
fascinating combination of text, music and illustration. Bringing
together a select group of scholars from multiple disciplines
(including art history, musicology, and literary studies), this
collection of essays explores complementary aspects of Gautier, his
works, and his manuscripts. The volume offers both breadth and
depth in its examination of Gautier de Coinci and his Miracles
de Nostre Dame. It promises to redefine Gautier studies through
its interdisciplinary consideration of the varied facets of his
work as it makes available to scholars and students the first
interdisciplinary examination of this key figure in medieval
vernacular religious culture.
