Alfred Jeanroy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alfred Jeanroy (1859-1954) was a French linguist.
Jeanroy was born at Mangiennes, Meuse, Lorraine. He was a leading scholar studying troubadour poetry, publishing over 600 works[1]. He established an influential view of the second generation of troubadours divided into two camps: “idealists” (e.g. Jaufre Rudel, Ebles de Ventadorn) and “realists” (e.g. Marcabru).[2].
