Le chansonnier français de Berne (cote 389, sigle C) date du dernier quart du 13ième siècle. Souvent considéré trop marginal pour servir de manuscrit de base d'une édition critique, dans cette publication il fait l'objet d'une analyse approfondie suivie d'une nouvelle édition de 53 poésies uniques et anonymes. Dans la première partie de son étude, l'éditeur présente un bref aperçu historique ainsi qu'une description détaillée des aspects physiques du manuscrit. Suit alors une analyse du contenu et de l'organisation du chansonnier. Lors de l'identification de poésies individuelles, l'éditeur se sert des bibliographies de Raynaud-Spanke, mais également de celle de Linker, trop souvent négligée bien que organisée plus logiquement. Après une présentation détaillée des traits dialectaux du manuscrit, l'ouvrage offre une transcription diplomatique et une édition critique commentée de 53 unica anonymes. Pour chaque poésie il y a des repères bibliographiques, une analyse métrique, et un bref commentaire philologique. Les appendices constituent des outils qui placent le manuscrit dans le contexte de la poésie médiévale: il s'agit e.a. d'une présentation synoptique des chansons, et de plusieurs concordances avec p. e. les répertoires métriques de Mölk/Wolfzettel et de Frank.

The medieval songbook known variously as trouvère manuscript C or the "Bern Chansonnier" (Bern, Burgerbibliothek, Cod. 389) is one of the most important witnesses to musical life in thirteenth-century France. Almost certainly copied in Metz, it provides the texts to over five hundred Old French songs, and is a unique insight into cultures of song-making and copying on the linguistic and political borders between French and German-speaking lands in the Middle Ages. Notably, the names of trouvères, including several female poet-musicians, are found in its margins, names which would be unknown today without this evidence. However, the manuscript has received relatively little scholarly attention, partly because the songs' musical staves remained empty for reasons now unknown, and partly because of where it was copied. This collection of essays is the first to consider C on its own terms and from a range of disciplinary perspectives, including philology, art history, literary studies, and musicology. The contributors explore the process of creating the complex object that is a music manuscript, examining the work of scribes and artists who worked on C, and questioning how scribes acquired and organised exemplars for copying. The peculiarly Messine flavour of the repertoire and authors is also discussed, with contributors showing that C frames the tradition of Old French song from a unique perspective. As a whole, the volume demonstrates how in this eastern hub of music and poetry, poet-composers, readers, and scribes interacted with the courtly song tradition in fascinating and unusual ways.
