Peire dAlvernhe | ar

Peire d'Alvernhe or d'Alvernha[1] (Pèire in modern Occitan; b. c. 1130) was an Auvergnat troubadour (active 1149–1170), twenty-one[2] or twenty-four[3][4] of whose works survive. His style was "esoteric" and "formally complex" (i.e., trobar clus) and among the early troubadours he stands out as the earliest mentioned by Dante.[2][4] .
