Arnaut Vidal de Castelnou d'Ari

Arnaut Vidal de Castelnou d'Ari

Arnaut Vidal de Castelnou d'Ari (fl. 1305–1324) was an medieval Occitan author from Castelnaudary.

Arnaut was a troubadour and the first poet laureate of the Consistori del Gay Saber. Arnaut's poem in praise of the Virgin Mary was adjudged the best by the Consistori at a contest held on Holy Cross Day 1324 at Toulouse and the troubadour was awarded the "violeta d'or" (golden violet).

He was also the author of the chivalric romance "Guilhem de la Barra" (1318), of which Paul Meyer produced the "editio princeps" (first modern critical edition). A new (French) edition has since been produced.
