Peirol

Peirol, from a 13th-century chansonnier

Peirol or Peiròl[1] (French: [peʁɔl], Occitan: [pejˈɾɔl]; born c. 1160,[2] fl. 1188–1222[3]/1225,[4] died in the 1220s) was an Auvergnat troubadour who wrote mostly cansos of courtly love in the late twelfth and early thirteenth centuries.[5] Thirty-four surviving poems written in Occitan have been attributed to him;[6] of these, seventeen (sixteen of them love songs) have surviving melodies.[5] He is sometimes called Peirol d'Auvergne or Peiròl d'Auvèrnha,[7] and erroneously Pierol.[8]

  1. ^ In Occitan, peir (French "pierre") means "stone" and -ol is a diminutive suffix, the name Peirol being understood as the equivalent of "Little Stone" but also "Petit Pierre" (Lil' Peter) or "Pierrot" (Pete or Petey); however, "peiròl" also meant a cauldron or a stove. The Occitan usually write Peiròl with an accented "ò" because "Peirol" would be pronounced [pejru].

  6. ^ Though one poem, "Be.m cujava que no chantes oguan", has been disputably assigned to Pons de la Guardia by M. Frank (Aston, 151).
  7. ^ Not to be confused with troubadour Peire d'Alvernha (Pierre d'Auvergne, born around 1130)
  8. ^ By conflation with the French "Pierre".
