About this Item

Peter T. Ricketts, Cyril P. Hershon (eds) Pages: 772 p.Language(s):Occitan, French. Publication Year:2008. Publications de l'Association Internationale d'Etudes Occitanes, vol. 4. ISBN: 978-2-503-52404-7. Brepols. Paperback -- Not only have Association Internationale d Etudes Occitanes and Brepols given their approval for the publication of the second half of the work, dealing with the miracles performed by Honoratus after his death, but also for the addition of the work of Ingegärd Suwe Ericsson, to give the mediaeval Occitan work in its entirety in one volume. Ingegard Suwe Ericsson s 1943 edition has been respected, apart from the occasional correction to the text. Her introduction considers the manuscript tradition, the language of the scribe in a full linguistic analysis, with examples taken from the first 4127 lines, and only minor elements, such as a résumé in French of this part and a list of errors found in the venerable edition by Sardou have been omitted. Thereafter, there is a complete integration of the first and second parts: the text, accompanied by footnotes, followed by notes to the text, a selective glossary, a table of proper names, and an updated bibliography. The whole is a text which repays reading and will fill a gap in the repertoire of important mediaeval texts.
