Sinopsis

Written and spoken in many places outside of France, and fluid in its incorporation into local language, the uses of French in medieval Europe is the subject of this fine volume of 14 essays, with a focus mainly on cases in England, the Low Countries, and Italy. Among the topics are the stories of King Arthur in Italy; the use of a mixture of French and Italian in the 15th-century story of Aquilon of Bavaria, by Raffaele da Verona; the use of French, Italian, and German in the legal documents of the states of Savoy; the presence of French, and mixtures of French and English, French and Latin, and French and Italian in institutions and legal and religious texts; the multilingualism of the songs in Le roman de Fauvel; and a survey of words shifting from French into English. Three of the articles are in French. The volume is distributed in North America by The David Brown Book Co. Annotation �2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Rese�a del editor

This volume contains essays on various aspects of multilingualism in medieval France, Italy, England, and the Low Countries. The fifteen contributions discuss the use of the different vernaculars and Latin in both literary and non-literary contexts, showing how cultural and social factors determined the choice of language for a particular purpose or type of text. The role of French in non-French contexts is a major theme of these essays: in the British Isles after the Norman Conquest, in Italy as a response to the need for mainly secular types of literature which did not exist in Italian, and in the Low Countries by virtue of geographic contiguity and change of rulers. Special attention is paid in the French context to the use of French and Occitan in areas of the South. Some essays examine specific cases or text-corpora, while others examine questions of multilingualism from more theoretical, linguistic, and rhetorical points of view. Together, they form an invaluable introduction to the topic of medieval multilingualism, illustrated by meticulously executed case-studies, which future work in the area will have to take into account.
