| Summary: | The author of this article applies himself to establish the meaning of verse 4 of d’Ab la douzor del temps novel, the famous poem of William of Poitiers. Therefore. He analyses therefore previous interpretations about this verse (in particular the most recent ones: Pasero, Vallín, Gambino). These interpretations have in common the idea that, in this extract, the word vers does not have its ordinary technical meaning (i.e. :“versified poetic composition, accompanied by a melody”). To this undemonstrated affirmation, which leads either to arbitrarily correcting the text, or to imagining meanings of the word vers that are otherwise not attested, like “melody” or “animal scream”, in order to account for a single occurrence of the word, the author oppose the lexicographic principle of Möhren, i. e. “ An unusual sense is an erroneous sense ”. On the basis of this principle, it is then argued that the verse that is concerned here and the whole beginning of the poem admit a respectful reading of the usual lexical value of vers without any problem. |
