Talk:Le Jongleur de Notre Dame

Any source for the originally claimed 12th c. legend?

There is no link or citation for the legend on which the story is based--this should be addressed.

OK, found it here: http://www.chesternovello.com/Default.aspx?TabId=2432&State_3041=2&workId_3041=11062

It's in Gautier de Coinci's work; will check further.Dellaroux (talk) 21:26, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

Added some material; Is it folk? (really?) and Does it need its own page?

I've added some notes, am wondering if the original doesn't deserve its own page, since there are apparently several MSs extant and studies have been made on them as well. In any case, I would question this as a "folk" work, since the author of the 1220 version is known and a publication/production record can be traced bibliographically, as well.

(appropriate references yet to be found): This story was told as a Christmas story for at least two years in the early 1940'son a Westinghouse sponsored radio show featuring John Charles Thomas and storyteller John Nesbit. Nesbit also recorded the story for a 78 rpm record album in that same decade. This information is from my personal memory. I will seek for some documentation.
