Fortune and desire in Guillaume de Machaut
No full textThere is a pervasive tendency, in Machaut scholarship, to read his poetry as having
value only insofar as it speaks to our postmodern age: either it is fragmented and
riven with ambiguities, or it celebrates eroticism and the things of this world for their
own sake; in any case, it resists religious and moral orthodoxy. Such readings, while
often valuable in themselves, fail to take sufficient account of the influence which
Boethian and Neoplatonic ideas had upon Machaut, and thus misunderstand his work
on a fundamental level. By paying attention to the Boethian content in the narrative
dits, and by analysing Machaut's verse more thoroughly than has been done before,
my thesis demonstrates not only this author's moral orthodoxy, but also his extremely
sophisticated didactic methods. I begin with the Confort d'ami, Machaut's most
overtly moral work. The Confort engages with the supposed 'worldly' perspective of
its imprisoned addressee, adapting biblical and classical exempla in order to coax
Charles of Navarre towards a deeper understanding of worldly fortune. In Chapter 2 I
show how, in the Prologue and the Dit du vergier, the ambiguity so beloved of critics
can serve as a moral commentary on the carnality and self-absorption of the erotic
and artistic points of view. Having established, in the preceding chapters, that this
author's approach to his subject is ambiguous and critical, in Chapter 3 I explore the
extremes of his pessimism, and show how his love poetry can incorporate
sophisticated philosophical ideas, through my analysis of the Jugement du roy de
Behaigne. The thesis culminates in a detailed reading of the Remede de Fortune.
Through his deliberately idealised statements about education, through his application
of these views to the art of courtly love, through his composition (and setting to
music) of a sequence of virtuoso lyrics, and through his explicit invocations of and
borrowings from Boethius, Machaut develops an empathic but ultimately, as I argue,
deeply sceptical vision of earthly love

Codia floribunda Brongn. F Gris
No full text7.Codia floribunda Brongn. F Gris Bull. Soc. bot. France 9: 77 (1862). Pfeifferago floribunda (Brongn. F Gris) Kuntze, Revis. Gen. Pl. 1: 227 (1891). Type (as given in protologue): “circa Balade (Vieillard, no. 592)”. — Lectotype (here designated): montagnes de Balade, 1855-1860, Vieillard 592 (P!). GUILLAUMIN (1941) stated that the type of C. floribunda (Vieillard 592, Balade) is the same species as that of C. montana, although most of the material identified as the latter in the herbarium at P belonged to a separate taxon which he named C. discolor. The two sheets at P labelled Vieillard 592 from Balade belong to different taxa; the lectotype has thick peduncles and leaves rounded at the base, and is conspecific with the type of C. montana. The second sheet, bearing a label from Herb. Caen, is C. spatulata and is thus excluded from being an isolectotype. Vieillard 592 from Balade, collected 1861-1867, at P, is C. montana. Other sheets of Vieillard 592 at P and elsewhere give the localities Kanala, Wagap and Gatope; some are C. montana and others are C. spatulata. 8. Codia fusca (Schltr.)
