By observing their composition and their context of transmission, the objective is to show that these texts have assumed erudite and scholarly functions – compilation of knowledge, inculcation of eschatological doctrine, teaching, etc. – a priori detached from any fearful expectation of the last days. …”

Qualques reflexions sul principi poetic e la temporalitat liura dins Sonets barròcs enta Iseut by Laurent Alibert

“…If the book is freed from temporality, this is never with the aim of recreating an ersatz of Middle Ages. The analysis of some poems in this paper suggests that the connection between the medieval reference and the poetical language is made around the death and resurrection of the Occitan language : as Iseut (Yseult) seems to die and be reborn, the lost language comes back again, in a new shape, both alike and different.…”
