This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: NOTES TO THE LAY OF ARISTOTLE. This tale, assigned by M. Le Grand to Henri d'Andeli, is, by Lacombe, in his Dictionnaire du Vieux Langage, attributed to Ruteboeuf: it is apparently borrowed from the Arabians. In M. de Cardonne's Melanges de Litterature Orientale, we have the tale of Le Vizir Seile et Bridf; in which the general idea is evidently the same, though the details, of which we cannot judge from a short extract, may possibly be different from our fabliau. It is to be observed, however, that the original Arabian story, in which the principal characters are a sultan, his minister, and an odalisque, would have excited very little interest in Europe; whereas our Trouveur, by attributing the adventure to Aristotle, whose character was regarded with an almost idolatrous veneration, has exhibited the omnipotence of love in the strongest possible colours.

Montfaucon, in his Amiquite Expliquee, (Tom III. part iii. VOL. II. O p. 356.) gives some bas-reliefs which he supposed to be ancient, but which apparently cannot be assigned to a much earlier age than that of the fabliaux; since, of four subjects, one is the representation of Aristotle, with Alexander's mistress on his back, and another of Hippocrates in the basket (see the next fabliau). The classical image of Cupid bestriding a lion, is substantially the same thought. Verse 94. ' And to the orchard hasten'd on her way.'? We have here, and indeed in almost every line of the fabliaux, a proof how exactly the poets of an ignorant a...<
