Raimon de Cornet also Ramon de Cornet (* around 1300 in Saint-Antonin , Rouergue , † after 1340 in Pontaut Monastery , Gascogne ) was a medieval Occitan poet and troubadour of the 14th century. In 1323 he was one of the founders and most important poets of the Toulouse Flower Games and a member of the Gai Saber Society . De Cornet is often referred to as the "last troubadour".

Raimon de Cornet was born around 1300 as the son of the Occitan poet Raimon de Cornet Père in the small town of Saint-Antonin in the Rouergue in the north of what is now the Tarn-et-Garonne department . He completed his studies at the University of Toulouse. In 1324 he was ordained a priest and became a member of the Franciscan order . From around 1327 he lived in the lay order of the Beguins . He later converted to the Cistercians . As a member of the Beguin movement, around 1326 he was at risk of being burned as a heretic in Avignon. His poetic work shows an excellent mastery of the verse technique. In 1324 he published the “Doctrinal de trobar”, a manual for creating rhymes. He dedicated this to the Infante Pere (1305-1381), the son of James II of Aragon . This work was commented on by Joan de Castellnou in 1341 .
