Medieval

From Grove:

"(b Coincy-l’Abbaye, 1177 or 1178; d Soissons, 25 Sept 1236). French trouvère. He was the author of the Miracles de Nostre-Dame and of a number of religious chansons, some of which he seems to have set to music. His date of birth is known from the Chronicum S. Medardi Suessonensis: ‘In the year 1193 Gautier de Coincy became a monk, and was 15 or 16 years old at the time’. In August 1214 he became prior of the monastery at Vic-sur-Aisne, about 16 km west of Soissons. He returned to St Médard in Soissons as abbot on 19 June 1233, where he remained until his death. The extensive learning revealed in his work and his obvious familiarity with contemporary secular song has led some writers to speculate that he spent time at the University of Paris before 1214, but this cannot be supported by documentary evidence.



The Miracles de Nostre-Dame is a massive verse narrative, some 30,000 lines in length, recounting the numerous miracles associated with the Virgin. Gautier explained that he found these stories in a Latin manuscript. No such source now survives, however, thus making it impossible to trace the origins of all the material contained in the work. It was written in two large sections, the first between 1214 and about 1222, the second between 1222 and 1233. Gautier identified himself in the work as ‘Li prior de Vi’ (Vic-sur-Aisne), indicating that his literary activities were probably confined to the years between 1214 and 1233. The popularity and importance of Miracles is attested by the fact that it survives in over 80 sources (22 with music) and inspired numerous imitations."
