Arnaut Daniel

Japanese: アルノー･ダニエル（英語表記）Arnaut Daniel

A troubadour active at the end of the 12th century (around 1180-1200). His birth and death years are unknown. According to the 13th century biography Vida, he was from Riberac in the Périgueux region. He represents the "trobar ric" art form, which is often difficult to understand and makes use of extremely complex techniques. There are 18 extant works, two of which are accompanied by musical notation. With the exception of one provocative piece, all of them are love poems, and the most famous of these is the one that ends with "I am Arnaud, who catches the wind, / who hunts rabbits with oxen, / who swims against the rising tide."

12世紀末(1180‐1200ころ)に活躍したトルバドゥール。生没年不詳。13世紀の〈伝記vida〉によれば，ペリグー地方リベラックの出身。きわめて複雑な技法を駆使し，しばしば難解な〈芸術体trobar ric〉を代表する。現存作品は18編，そのうち2編は楽譜つき。きわどい内容の1編を除けば，いずれも恋愛詩，中でも〈われはアルノー，風をとらえ/牛を使って兎狩りをし/上げ潮に逆らって泳ぐ者なり〉で終わる詩が有名。
