Peirol or Peiròl〔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 .〕 (, ; birth ca. 1160,〔 known in 1188–1222〔Nichols, 129.〕/1225,〔Aubrey, "References to Music in Old Occitan Literature", 123.〕 death in the 1220s) was an Auvergnat troubadour who wrote mostly ''cansos'' of courtly love in the late twelfth and early thirteenth centuries.〔Switten, 320.〕 Thirty-four surviving poems written in Occitan have been attributed to him;〔Though one poem, "Be.m cujava que no chantes oguan", has been disputably assigned to Pons de la Guardia by M. Frank (Aston, 151).〕 of these, seventeen (sixteen of them love songs) have surviving melodies.〔 He is sometimes called Peirol d'Auvergne or Peiròl d'Auvèrnha,〔Not to be confused with troubadour Peire d'Alvernha (Pierre d'Auvergne, born around 1130)〕 and erroneously Pierol.〔By conflation with the French "Pierre".〕 ==Biography== Not much is known of his life, and any attempt to establish his biography from a reading of his poems is soundly rejected by the most recent scholarship.〔Switten, 321 n5.〕 Peirol's birth is commonly estimated around 1160.〔The common 1160 ()()()() is possibly inferred from his being established active starting around 1188.〕 He may have hailed from — and been named after — the village of Pérols in Prondines, Puy-de-Dôme, "at the foot of" (''al pe de'') the castle of Rochefort-Montagne (''Rocafort'').〔Schutz, 227.〕 Another candidate for his birth town is Pérol in modern Riom-es-Montagnes.〔Egan, 82.〕 His homeland was thus ''en la contrada del Dalfin'': in the county of the Dauphin of Auvergne.〔 Peirol was originally a poor knight, described as "courtly and handsome" by the author of his late thirteenth-century ''vida'' (biography).〔Jones, 310.〕〔Egan, 81.〕 He served at the court of Dalfi d'Alvernha, but was in love with his sister Salh (or Sail) de Claustra (which means "fled from the cloister"), the wife of Béraut III de Mercœur,〔 and wrote many songs for this "domna" (lady). While Dalfi had brought his sister to his court for Peirol and had helped Peirol cater to her tastes in his compositions, eventually Dalfi grew jealous of the attention his sister gave Peirol and, in part because of the impropriety, had to dismiss Peirol, who could not support himself as a man-at-arms.〔 His biographer indicates, ''Peirols no se poc mantener per cavallier e venc joglars, et anet per cortz e receup dels barons e draps e deniers e cavals.''〔 That is: Peirol being unable to maintain himself as a knight became a jongleur, and travelled from court to court, receiving from barons clothing, money, and horses. Peirol is known to have been a fiddler and singer from a reference in a ''tornada'' of Albertet de Sestaro.〔Aubrey, ''The Music of the Troubadours'', 257.〕 After returning from a pilgrimage to Jerusalem sometime in or after 1222, Peirol may have died in Montpellier in the 1220s.〔Kehew, Pound, and Snodgrass, 244.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Peirol」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
