Raoul Chaillou du Pesstain

From Wikipedia (France) on the Roman de Fauvel - In 1314 the second book of the Roman de Fauvel is completed, "signed" by a trick that hides the name of Gervais Bus. But it may be due, at least in part, to other reviewers. In 1316, Raoul Chaillou of Pesstain , a friend of the author, magistrate and member of the court in Paris reviews the first two books. Chaillou of Pesstain was perhaps the Chevalier Raoul Chaillou, bailiff of Auvergne (1313-1316). According to Elizabeth Brown, this is a pseudonym of Gervais, or even a namesake for all clerics of Chancery. It replaces the epilogue by an extension to 1800 where the marriage is described in more detail as well as the tournament virtues and devils where nobody wins. Furthermore it adds to the work countless textual and musical interpolations, Latin and French, and several polyphonic works composed especially for the book by Philippe de Vitry (1291-1361, the theorist of the Ars Nova ) . All other compositions (almost 80%) are already in the earlier manuscripts (until the end of the twelfth century ) and were adapted by the Chaillou Pesstain for the Roman de Fauvel.
