| description | One of the texts of Machaut's double balade, <em>Quant Theseus/Ne quier</em> (B34) is ascribed in Machaut's <em>Voir dit</em> to a certain Thomas Paien. The present article suggests that this Thomas was one of Machaut's peers, being like him a canon of Reims and a court secretary. Figures with similar names (and the pervasive idea that a character cited in a work of fiction might not be a real person at all) have confused earlier attempts at identification. A possible occasion for the composition of B34's texts - also involving a balade on the same refrain by Jehan Froissart - can be found in a shared patron-client link between Machaut and Thomas, both of whom had associations with John, Duke of Berry. |
