Vida (Occitan literary form)

An illustration of Guillem de Cabestany accompanies his vida in the chansonnier. He is apparently leaving.

Vida (Old Occitan [ˈvida]) is the usual term for a brief prose biography, written in Old Occitan, of a troubadour or trobairitz. [citation needed]

The word vida means "life" in Occitan languages; they are short prose biographies of the troubadours, and they are found in some chansonniers, along with the works of the author they describe. [citation needed]Vidas are notoriously unreliable: Mouzat, while complaining that some scholars still believe them, says they represent the authors as "ridiculous bohemians, and picaresque heroes"; Alfred Jeanroy calls them "the ancestors of modern novels".[1] Most often, they are not based on independent sources, and their information is deduced from literal readings of the poems details. Most of the vidas were composed in Italy, many by Uc de Saint Circ. [citation needed]

Additionally, some individual poems are accompanied by razos, explanations of the circumstances in which the poem was composed. [citation needed]
