Jordan de l'Isla de Venessi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jordan de l'Isla de Venessi was a minor Provençal troubadour from L'Isle-sur-Sorgue. He lived in the third quarter of the thirteenth century. He is the conventional author of the decasyllabic canso "Longa sazon ai estat vas Amor", though that song is attributed to seven other authors in the chansonniers. Jordan is probably the same person as the Escudier de la Ylha (squire of the isle) reported as its author in manuscript "R". "Longa sazon" forms the basis of the Italian poem "Umile core e fino e amoroso", which is practically a translation, by Jacopo Mostacci.
