The French Literary Miscellany is an important recueil (collection)—an intentional grouping of many texts into one volume—of early French literature. It contains full-length romances and shorter verse texts, using longer pieces like Blancandin and Floire et Blancheflor as a frame for the shorter fables. A single scribe wrote it at the end of the thirteenth century in northeastern France. The manuscript’s major textual divisions are introduced by charming, illuminated initials that include hybrid creatures, indicating that it was most likely produced for a wealthy patron.

International social justice movements and the debates that ensued prompted us to start considering the contents of our website from a critical point of view. This has led us to acknowledge that most of the texts in our database are Western-centered. We have asked the authors of our content to be aware of the underlying racial and cultural bias in many scholarly sources, and to try to keep in mind multiple points of view while describing the manuscripts. We also recognize that this is yet a small, first step towards fighting inequality.

If you notice any trace of racist or unjust narratives in our communications, please help us be part of the change by letting us know.
