Mahieu le Juif (original) (raw)
Mahieu le Juif was an Old French trouvère. His name means "Matthew the Jew" and, if his own songs are to be believed, he was a convert from Judaism to Christianity. Only two of his songs survive, one with a melody. He has been conflated with Mahieu de Gant, but the same manuscript that contains both their works clearly distinguishes them. Mahieu's other piece, Pour autrui movrai (RS 313), likewise refers to his Jewishness, but it was not as widely copied, appearing only in the Chansonnier du Roi (Trouvère chansonnier M) and the (Trouvère chansonnier T).

| dbo:abstract | Mahieu le Juif was an Old French trouvère. His name means "Matthew the Jew" and, if his own songs are to be believed, he was a convert from Judaism to Christianity. Only two of his songs survive, one with a melody. He has been conflated with Mahieu de Gant, but the same manuscript that contains both their works clearly distinguishes them. Mahieu's song, Par grant franchise (RS 782), was very widely copied and today exists in twelve chansonniers, including one in Occitan. It recounts how the je (the first-person persona, perhaps to be equated with Mahieu himself) converted from Judaism to Christianity for the sake of his lady. Instead of love, however, he is ridiculed by her. The melody shows some variation between sources and there is intertextual similarity between a piece of the troubadour Albertet de Sestaro and Par grant, but the direction of any influence of the one on the other cannot be ascertained: though Jeanroy assumed that the trouvère was influenced by the troubadour. Mahieu's other piece, Pour autrui movrai (RS 313), likewise refers to his Jewishness, but it was not as widely copied, appearing only in the Chansonnier du Roi (Trouvère chansonnier M) and the (Trouvère chansonnier T). (en) Mahieu le Juif était un trouvère français. Si l'on en croit ses chansons - mais seules deux ont survécu - il était converti du judaïsme au christianisme. Il a été confondu avec Mahieu de Gant mais le manuscrit qui contient leurs œuvres les distingue bien l'un de l'autre. Sa chanson la plus populaire, Par grant franchise, a été très largement copiée et elle se trouve aujourd'hui dans douze chansonniers , dont un en occitan. C'est probablement le sujet fascinant de la chanson qui explique sa popularité. Mahieu avait abandonné sa foi dans le judaïsme pour celle de sa dame chrétienne. S'attendant à recevoir des éloges, il fut ridiculisé. La mélodie de cette chanson survit dans de nombreuses variantes, toutes d'une structure simple et resserrée. Il existe une similarité intertextuelle entre une pièce du troubadour Albertet de Sisteron et Par grant, mais on ne saurait attribuer une influence de l'un à l'autre dans quelque sens que ce soit. Alfred Jeanroy cependant pensait que le trouvère a été influencé par le troubadour. L'autre chanson de Mahieu, Pour autrui movrai, se réfère également à sa judaïté mais elle ne fut pas aussi populaire . (fr) Mahieu le Juif (... – ...; fl. XII-XIII secolo) è stato un troviero francese.Se si deve credere alle sue canzoni, egli risulterebbe dunque essersi convertito dall'ebraismo al cristianesimo. Della sua opera solo due canzoni sopravvivono, una comprensiva di melodia. È stato "mescolato" insieme a Mahieu de Gant, ma lo stesso manoscritto che contiene entrambi i loro lavori li distingue in modo chiaro. La canzone più popolare di Mahieu, Par grant franchise, fu ampiamente copiata e oggi essa esiste in dodici chansonniers, tra cui uno in lingua occitana. Probabilmente è il tema affascinante della canzone che spiega la sua popolarità. Mahieu abbandona la fede ebraica per quella della sua signora cristiana. Tuttavia, aspettando di riceverne lodi, egli si rende soltanto ridicolo. La melodia appropriata di questa canzone sopravvive in molti variazioni, ma tutte hanno una struttura semplice, ancorché concisa. C'è una similitudine intertestuale tra un componimento del trovatore Albertet de Sestaro e il Par grant franchise, ma la direzione di ogni influenza dell'una sull'altra non può essere accertata: nonostante Jeanroy presume che il troviero fosse stato influenzato dal trovatore. Un altro componimento di Mahieu, Pour autrui movrai, parimenti riferisce della sua ebraicità, ma non fu destinato a una così ampia lettura. (it) |
