Abstract

Within Occitan Literature, the technique of the lyric insertion achieved wide success from a very early stage, in a variety of forms. The article focuses on the troubadour quotations of Raimon Vidal’s novas Abril issia e mays intrava and So fo el temps c’om era gays, and of the Breviari d’amor by Matfre Ermengaud. The novas are situated at the opening of the narrative tradition in Occitan, while the Breviari d’amor places itself at the closing of the troubadour experience. The essay investigates the role played by the troubadour quotations within the complex structure of the three texts, aiming to understand which purpose the quotations serve, and which picture of the Occitan lyrical experience they portray.
