Resum

The transmission of Occitan lyric corpus was strongly mediated by the concerns of the compilers of troubadour lyric manuscripts. This hermeneutic framing, in which the prose biographies known as vidas and razos played a significant role, aimed to create a tradition of written authority for the vernacular language of the songs. In this article, I look at how the troubadour biographies construct an impersonal voice of written commentary around the performative voice of troubadour song, inviting contemporary and future readers to validate the cultural project of authorising the vernacular.
