has gloss | eng: Jehan le Cuvelier dArras (fl. c. 1240–70) was a trouvère associated with the so-called "school of Arras". He may be the same person as Johannes Cuvellarius from Bapaume, a suburb of Arras, who is mentioned in documents of 1258. He was the respondent in nine jeux partis and judge of six; he also composed six chansons courtoises. His six chansons are: *Amours est une merveille *Anuis et desesperance *Jai une dame enamee *Jolivetés et joenece *Mout me plaisent a sentir *Pour la meillour quonques formast Nature This last one can be approximately dated, since it is dedicated to Wagon Wion, sheriff (échevin) of Arras in 1265 and dead by February 1273. Cuveliers chansons are predominantly heptasyllabic, although one (Pour la meillour) is decasyllabic and there are pentasyllabic lines in the others. |
