Q clock to take Up the study or two
famous medieval stories. The
Cydp and "Aucassin and Nicolatt.'
These stories are both Historical and
legendery and are the outGrowth of
the early tales of the Troubadours,
which were studied at the last PEcvi-
Gus meeting. They are said TO be
more forceful and vital than any
literary efforts up to that time.
In "Thr Cyd.'' Which is based
on the historical and supernatural,
the sweep of action is marked. in
the poem story Aueassin and Niro-
lette,' sharp contrast is to he
found, in that it deals with the edict
of the reigninC pope forbidding par
ticipation in the tournaments which
were the leading interest of the day.
These two stories are most i'm
portant as contemporaneous to the
twelfth century, their literary tra-
ditions being apparent over three
centuries. the original manuscripts
having been found in monasteries of
that time.
