An Introduction to Old Occitan is the only textbook in print for learning the language used by the troubadours in southern France during the Middle Ages. Each of the thirty-two chapters discusses a subject in the study of the language and includes an exercise based on a reading of an Occitan text that has been edited afresh for this volume. An accompanying compact disc includes discussion of the pronunciation of the language, with illustrations from the texts in the book.
