JEAN D'See also:

ARRAS, a 15th-See also:century See also:trouvere, about whose See also:personal See also:history nothing is known, was the collaborator with See also:Antoine du Val and Fouquart de See also:Cambrai in the authorship of a collection of stories entitled Evangiles de quenouille. They purport to See also:record the narratives of a See also:group of ladies at their See also:spinning, who relate the current theories on a See also:great variety of subjects. The See also:work See also:dates from the See also:middle of the 15th century and is of considerable value for the See also:light it throws on See also:medieval See also:manners. There were many See also:editions of this See also:book in the 15th and 16th centuries, one of which was printed by Wynkyn de Worde in See also:English, as The Gospelles of Dystaves. A See also:modern edition (Collection Jannet) has a See also:preface by Anatole See also:France. Another trouvere, JEAN D'ARRAS who flourished in the second See also:half of the r4th century, wrote, at the See also:request of See also:John, See also:duke of See also:Berry, a See also:long See also:prose See also:romance entitled Chronique de la princesse. It relates with many digressions the antecedents and See also:life of the See also:fairy Ivlelusine (q.v.).
