description In the song Coras que·m fezes doler (BdT 366.9) Peirol informs us that he has abandoned the lady he courted for so long without any profit and turned to a new lover. This change plays an important part in Stanley C. Aston’s reconstruction of the troubadour’s biography. The scholar interprets ll. 41-44 as an allusion to the fourth crusade and dates the episode to 1202 accordingly. However, in the light of Pierre Bersuire’s Repertorium morale it is possible to propose a different interpretation of the passage, which excludes all reference to the crusades and allows us to rethink the chronological frame of Peirol’s poetic activity as well as the debated authenticity of the attribution of his earliest and latest compositions. This essay offers a new critical text, with an extensive note on the manuscript tradition, original translation and commentary.
