The poetic translations in langue d'oc of the Latin legend of St. Margaret the Virgin (also known as St. Margaret of Antioch), the "persecuted maiden, " one of the most popular saints of the Middle Ages, are important examples of devotional poetry responding to the needs of a common, simple religiosity. Although they derive from the same hypotext, published here in the manuscript lesson of Occitain origin, and date to roughly the same period, the two works are the result of very different translation techniques. These stylistic differences correspond to similarly divergent linguistic usage. At more than a century from preceding editions, the two texts are published in completely updated versions, the results of a reconstructive philological methodology that relies on close comparison with the Latin source.
