Gerbert de Montreuil
Gerbert de Montreuil (* in the first half of the 13th century, † probably in the second half of the 13th century) was a French poet. He is considered to be the author of two verses, the “Roman de la Violette ou de Gérard de Nevers” ( “Li romans de la violete”, ms. BnF, fr. 1374) and the “Fourth continuation of Perceval ” by Chrétien de Troyes , too "Gerberts continuation" called.
The "Gerberts continuation" counts 17,090 verses and was written before 1235.
The literary motif of the "Roman de la Violette" (between 1227 and 1229) is a bet between two men on the (un) faithfulness of a bride. This poem comprises 6,654 verses. Numerous imitations testify to the popularity of this material. Giovanni Boccaccio's novella II, 9 of his Decameron , William Shakespeare's “ Cymbeline ” and Carl Maria von Weber's “ Euryanthe ” are among them.
