Comments: This large format book is abundantly illustrated with comprehensive comments. Although less scholarly than another extensive book on Troubadours/Trouveres, this one is also available with a CD (CD available alone in this case) Songs of Troubadours and Trouveres - An anthology of poems and melodies (edited by Samuel N. Rosenberg, Margaret Switten, Gerard Le Vot; Garland reference library of the humanities, vol. 1740, Garland Publishing 1997 ISBN 0815313411), 377pp. Highly recommended even if your reading in french is very basic.
It is also noteworthy to draw attention to a complementary CD-ROM:
Terre de Troubadours - Land of Troubadours
Gérard Zuchetto, et al
Studi - Les Presses Multimédia (ISBN 3 542291 110206)
