Among all the medieval bestiaries that got printed, the short piece called Les Dits
des oiseaux stands out as a singular work. It is striking first and foremost because of
its longevity : two handwritten copies in the 15th century were followed by few
printed versions, but it lived on within a rather heterogeneous work known as the
ancestor of the almanac, Le Grand Calendrier et Compost des bergers (The Shepherds’ Great
Calendar and Compost). The present paper examines developments in the composition
of the work through its several editions from the 15th to the 18th century, then it
compares its contents to the traditional contents of bestiaries and more particularly
of volucraries. |
