Life
Life
De Cabanas was the second son of a lawyer, born in Aix en Provence in 1654. As he was not his father's heir, Cabanas had to serve in the Duc of Savoy's army. However, after the death of his elder brother he became the heir and retired without any need to earn a living. He could then spend as much time as he wanted in order to compose his literary work.
Literary work
Literary work
Cabanas wrote a hundred tales (explicitly inspired from Marguerite de Navarre's Heptaméron), comedies and poetic enigmas. All de Cabanes' literary work remained at the stage of manuscripts and were never published. Occitan critic Philippe Gardy thoroughly studied and published some of them at the end of 20th century.
