A wonderful resource for the novice as well as the specialist! a vast mine of up-to-date information."-Michel-André Bossy! editor of Medieval Debate Poetry "This work will certainly be a must for every scholar working on the troubadours! and perhaps also for non-specialist medievalists. Its attention to the nitty-gritty of scholarship-manuscripts! editing! language! rhetoric! etc.-is what makes it so unique and helpful. It will be on the top of my bibliography when I teach the troubadours."-Stephen G.
