Research Interests

1. Edition and study of a corpus of Occitan and Catalan poetry from the fifteenth century chansonnier "Vega-Aguiló" and other older witnesses that have not been studied extensively to date.
2. Edition of two seminal works from the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries on the grammar of poetics: "Leys d'Amors" and "Doctrina d'Acort".
3. Edition and study of the "Roman de Cardenois", a fourteenth century romance written in French by an unknown author who was very familiar with both Catalonia and the poetry of Guillaume de Machaut.

These three lines of research are part of the projects "The Last Song of the Troubadours: Linguistic Codification and Construction of a Literary Canon in the Crown of Aragon (14th-15th centuries)" (ERC StG 2009-2013-241070), and "La poesía francesa en las cortes de la Corona de Aragón: verso y formas de transmisión" (MCI FFI 2009-10065), both based at the Universitat de Barcelona.
