Della Storia di Barlam e Josaphat che ha affascinato il Medioevo, l’Occitania ha custodito un solo testimone, il manoscritto trecentesco Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, fr. 1049, prezioso anche per un piccolo ciclo iconografico (di cui questo volume offre la riproduzione fotografica) contenente una rara rappresentazione a piena pagina dell’albero dei sette peccati capitali e una prospettiva “a libro aperto” della bestia d’enfern dell’Apocalisse di san Giovanni.Nella prima parte lo studio considera il manoscritto dal punto di vista codicologico, paleografico e storico-artistico. Successivamente si sofferma sulla devozione francescana-angioina, sul culto di Ludovico di Tolosa e sulle correnti spirituali che nel primo quarantennio del XIV secolo avevano percorso la Provenza, protette e tutelate da Roberto d’Angiò e Sancia di Maiorca. Nell’ultima parte si presenta l’edizione critica (la prima di questo fondamentale testo provenzale ad apparire in italiano e la prima in assoluto a studiare il codice nella sua interezza) del Libre de Barlam et de Josaphat con analisi linguistica, commento al testo e glossario.

"Two Medieval Toll Registers from Tarascon presents an edition, translation, and discussion of two vernacular toll registers from fourteenth and fifteenth-century Provence. These two registers are a valuable new source for the economic, linguistic, and transportation history of medieval France, offering a window onto the commercial life of Tarascon, a fortified town on the east bank of the Rhône between Avignon and Arles. William D. Paden discusses the developing fiscal policy of the counts of Provence, for whom the tolls were collected, and the practice and vocabulary of medieval toll-keeping. An afterword considers the toll registers in relation to the poetry of troubadours, arguing that the realism of the registers and the idealism of troubadour poetry overlapped in the world of medieval Tarascon."--
