This study of Charles d'Orléans's personal manuscript of
his poetry the first in nearly a
century paves the way not only for a new edition
of the duke's vre (by Mary-Jo Arn, John Fox, and
R. Barton Palmer) but for a new view of it. Following the first
complete modern description of the manuscript, this study
reconstructs the history of the manuscript, copying layer by
copying layer. Codicological observations supplemented with
palaeographical, historical, art-historical, and textual
information reveal the approximate sequence of the
manuscripts composition, which in turn allows a re-dating of
the manuscript and some of the poems in it. Charles saw lyric form
differently than did his predecessors and contemporaries, a view
made manifest in the poets own numbering of his poems. He
mixed his complaintes with ballades and his
rondels with chansons, each pair of forms in a
numbered series, but never presenting the longer alongside the
shorter forms. The analysis of the manuscripts construction
corrects the current physical disorder of the later
chansons and rondels, as well as that of the
En la forest de longue actente series (including the
lyric omitted from the standard edition) and re-evaluates the
handful of English poems in the manuscript. In the end, we come to
understand the relationship between the visual
messiness of the manuscript and the poets
strong concept of lyric order. The technical aspects of the study
are clarified by many tables and fascimile pages; the interactive
CD contains an index of first lines that can be sorted in various
ways to reveal a variety of kinds of manuscript relationships.
