The anonymous chantefable Aucassin et Nicolette, based on parody, has a controversial dating. However the presence of the l’autrier—that identifyes the genre of pastorella—and a series of erotic allusions authorize us to read again the chap. XI, and in particular v. 21 which reproduces the v. 12 of the prologue, confirming the centrality of the scene represented, in connection both with the lyric of the red cat of William IX, and with the Marcabruno’s most important pastorella, connected to it. Not only that, but the lexical analysis of another word in the same chapter allows us to grasp a further intertextual game with Adam de la Halle’s Jeu de la Feuillée, which provides 1276 as a terminus post quem for the chantefable dating and to place its composition in the bourgeois environment of Arras, of which it shares the social and cultural needs declined through the use of parody.
