Page "Troubadour" Paragraph 19

# Medieval Latin or Mediolatin ( Goliardic ) Hans Spanke analysed the intertextual connexion between vernacular and medieval Latin ( such as Goliardic ) songs.

This theory is supported by Reto Bezzola, Peter Dronke, and musicologist J. Chailley.

According to them, trobar means " inventing a trope ", the trope being a poem where the words are used with a meaning different from their common signification, i. e. metaphor and metonymy.

This poem was originally inserted in a serial of modulations ending a liturgic song.

Then the trope became an autonomous piece organized in stanza form.

The influence of late eleventh-century poets of the " Loire school ", such as Marbod of Rennes and Hildebert of Lavardin, is stressed in this connexion by Brinkmann.
