description In the fourteenth century, in northeastern Italy, Nicholas of Verona wrote three chansons de geste of different inspiration in Franco-Italian : Pharsalus, which rewrites two chapters of the medieval chronicle of the Fet des Romains in the form of an epic, Prise de Pamplune, which is a continuation of L’Entrée d’Espagne, and Passion, which is a compilation of the Gospels. His style, inherited from the figures of thought and the rhetorical art of jugglers, reflects an innovative vision of the world and of heroism. The character of Caesar, for instance, is widely denigrated and heroic impetuosity is condemned. But the Veronese author’s writing is also characterised by lyrical pauses in which he explores various facets of human feelings, as well as a moralising dimension : the didactic aspect of his texts is based on paremical wording and phrases.
