| Riassunto: | Three Women, Two Towns, One Minstrel. The Fabliaux in Two Parts by Watriquet de CouvinThe Hainaut poet and minstrel Watriquet de Couvin, who was active from 1319 to 1329, wrote among other compositions two fabliaux that, along with those of his contemporary Jean de Condé, were among the last in the genre. These have had very mixed fortunes. Whereas the first, Trois Dames de Paris, has long been, even very recently, the focus of critical attention, the second, Trois Chanoinesses de Cologne, has barely aroused interest. The fabliaux depict, within a similar urban setting, a trio of female characters who indulge in gratifying their senses. Both works appear successively in one manuscript (Paris, Ars. 3525), the only one to have preserved them, and seem to call for a joint reading, which is the subject of this article. |
