Abstract

The paper examines an Old Occitan sonnet series in chansonnier   f, with particular attention to the one attributed to the troubadour Blacasset. The research focuses on the authenticity of the sonnets, the potential involvement of Jehan de Nostredame in its forgery, and the reasons why their true author found it appropriate to attribute one of them to Blacasset. The sonnets are analysed in terms of their linguistic and metrical characteristics, suggesting a possible 15th-century composition with French and Occitan influences. The historical-political context is explored as well, hinting at references to the relationships between the people of Provence and the houses of Aragon and Anjou. The paper discusses the hypotheses proposed by Paul Meyer in 1871, underlining new elements suggesting an earlier dating and questioning the real involvement of Nostredame's apocryphal hand.
