Un'epistola in versi di Raimon de Cornet contro la decadenza morale del clero.

In two of his letras Raimon de Cornet offers a vivid satirical description of the worldly-minded life of clergy, proposing moral and educational purposes. Particularly, in A sels que vol, here published, the author satirizes prelates. The new critical edition has represented the opportunity for a thorough examination of this work: the author, even though he maintains his own originality, shows his indebtedness to previous century's Provençal literature - both in subjects and in form, of which we propose, here for the first time, a critically based analysis -, but also to medieval Latin tradition.
