Notorious?

[edit]

Why was he notorious? Was it just for being a troubadour?

Re: Notorious

[edit]

Yes, he was not only known in the troubadours circles, but also talked about by such later authors such as Dante (the phrase "quel di Lemosì" in Purg. XXVI, e.g., refer to him).

Paragraph removed

[edit]

A paragraph contained unverified information, some of which blatantly contraddicted the only quoted source (Sharman). If you plan on reinstating the expunged information, please quote a reliable source.

Proposed merge

[edit]

Yes, clearly they must be merged. I see I have made minor edits to both pages without even noticing the duplication!

The spelling Giraut is the one adopted in Ruth Sharman's edition so that's probably the one to go for. The link to a Wikisource text on one of these pages doesn't currently lead to anything: whether this is a spelling problem I don't know. It might be, since the spelling Guirat is surely wrong.

Is someone offering to do the merge? Andrew Dalby 08:40, 23 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Warning

[edit]

The same unsourced and, most likely, plainly legendary, information that I expungted from this page are now in the other one along with the odd spelling. What about a redirection page instead? Complainer 11:53, 24 June 2006 (GMT+1)

Yes, that's all that's needed, I suppose. Someone clearly copied that romantic stuff from the one article to the other -- goodness knows why. Andrew Dalby 13:31, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, done. I just hope the factoids don't come back with a vengeance. Complainercomplainer
