Résumé
Renaut de Montauban. Fragments from the Metz (Me) Municipal Archives Regarded as having been lost (again) for a century, these fragments from Renaut de Montauban provide us with 12 columns, each of 43 verses, or a total of 516 lines. They constitute the longest version of the passages under consideration (Renaut’s return from his pilgrimage to the Holy Land and the moment when Renaut leaves the world to become a simple worker on the construction site of Cologne Cathedral). The study of their place within the manuscript tradition is only sketched out here. However, the particularly marked character of these texts makes them the only important known epic testimony of 13th Century Walloon.
