Jehan Maillart and the Roman de Fauvel (MS Paris BnF fr. 146)

The article discusses the problematics of the relation between the 'royal notaire' Jehan Maillart and the authors of the Roman de Fauvel (Gervais du Bus), in his audiences in the court of Philip the Fair's performances, as revealed through the contemporary version of the manuscript Paris BnF fr. 146. In the prologue to le Roman du Comte d'Anjou Maillart shows the problems that arise in exchange between his audience, with a moral aim.
