Biography
It comprises four coblas unissonans. Its first line begins Un dolz dezirs amorous and it is metrically, but not rhymewise, identical to A vos, bona don'e pros which is attributed by some manuscripts to Raimbaut de Vaqueiras and by others left unattributed, leading subsequent scholars to suggest that it was the work of either Aimeric de Pegulhan or Formit.
The recorded working language is Catalan and Occitan.
