Trade Review'This is a very fine and orderly edition complete with all trappings... Glossary is a real gem... The glossary even provides indexes of the words named and we thus get a very fine tool to approach Occitan texts from the period - whether in prose or poetry.' -- Karen Schousboe Medieval Histories: News about the Middle Ages, 18 August 2016
