From Honour to Amor The Fables Pierre Aufons and its Parodic Sequel in Paris, BnF, naf. 7517

This article takes Gérard Genette’s theory of transtextuality as a starting point for exploring Paris, BnF, naf. 7517, in which the Fables Pierre Aufons are followed by a unique sequel on love and then chivalry. The redactor of the Fables transforms his Latin hypotext, Petrus Alfonsi’s Disciplina clericalis, into a vernacular story collection. The sequel in ms. 7517 goes one step further, both parodying the didactic agenda of the Fables and simultaneously the models of Arthurian romance invoked.
