Joan de Castelnou or Castellnou (fl. 1341–1355) was a troubadour of the Consistori del Gay Saber active in Toulouse. A troubadour ( IPA:, originally) was a composer and performer of Occitan Lyric poetry during the High Middle Ages (1100&ndash1350 The Consistori del Gay (or Gai) Saber ("Consistory of the Gay Science" commonly called the Consistori de Tolosa ("Consistory of Toulouse" Toulouse ( pronounced in standard French, and in the local accent ( Occitan: Tolosa, pronounced) is a city in southwest He left behind five or six cansos, three vers, a dansa, a conselh, and a sirventes. The canso or canço is a Song style used by the Troubadours It consists of three parts A verse is generally considered to be a single line in a metrical composition e A dansa or dança was an Occitan form of Lyric poetry developed in the late thirteenth century among the Troubadours It The sirventes or serventes ( Mistralian norm sirventès) is a Genre of Occitan Lyric poetry used by His most famous works are non-lyric, however: a grammar (compendi) called Las flors del gay saber, estier dichas las Leys d'amors and a glossary (glosari) on the Doctrinal (1324) of his predecessor, Raimon de Cornet. Lyric poetry refers to a usually short poem that expresses personal feelings which may or may not be set to music Grammar is the field of Linguistics that covers the Rules governing the use of any given natural language.

Joan's Glosari, usually dated to 1341, is a critical analysis of the Doctrinal, not a complete grammar in and of itself. His Leys, however, is the latest and largest medieval Occitan grammatical treatise written with intention of preserving the literary form of the language. Occitan ( IPA BrE: /ˈɒksɪtn/ AmE: /ˈɑksəˌtɑn/ known also as Lenga d'òc or Langue d'oc (native name occitan It is highly systematic and highly prescriptive. Its double title indicates the close relationship in the medieval lyrical tradition between the science of poetry (gay saber) and the art of love (amors). The dating of the Leys is less certain, Boase puts it between 1328 and 1337,[1] while Jeanroy places it later, in 1355. Alfred Jeanroy (1859-1954 was a French linguist Jeanroy was born at Mangiennes, Meuse, Lorraine. It was probably commissioned by the Consistori to be a compendium of grammatical knowledge for a wide audience and to "unveil" the secret art of poetry. Its author—who goes unnamed, but is usually identified with Joan today—also seeks to restrain lovers from dishonest love. [2] A parallel has been noticed between the Leys and the prologue of the Libro de Buen Amor of Juan Ruiz. Juan Ruiz (ca 1283 - ca 1350 known as the Archpriest of Hita ( Arcipreste de Hita) was a medieval Spanish poet [3]
