This scholarly work explores the etymological and symbolic roots of the concept of 'text' in Latin tradition, tracing its metaphorical connection to weaving from classical antiquity through the medieval period. Drawing on sources ranging from Cicero and Horace to Alain de Lille and the goliards, the author demonstrates how the idea of the text as an interwoven fabric—where warp and weft represent opposing forces united in 'concordia discors'—became a foundational metaphor in medieval literary aesthetics. The study examines how this textile imagery permeated both the structure and interpretation of medieval romances such as 'Le Bel Inconnu' and 'Amadas et Ydoine,' as well as the composite nature of fabliaux like 'Constant du Hamel' and 'la Vieille Truande.' By situating these literary forms within a broader symbolic framework that links human creation to divine craftsmanship, the book reveals how medieval writers understood their art as a reflection of nature and God’s own act of weaving spirit into matter. The analysis bridges literary criticism, historical semantics, and cultural symbolism, offering a nuanced perspective on the interplay between language, form, and meaning in medieval French narrative traditions.
