Guillem de l'Olivier

Last updated

Guillem de l'Olivier d'Arle, also spelled Guilhem del Olivier, was a troubadour, probably active after 1260. He was from Provence, presumably the region around Arles, and he was also active in northern Italy. He was a prolific author of coblas esparsas , single-stanza poems, usually on a moral theme. The number of lines per poem vary from a low of four to a high of sixteen. Scholars Alfred Pillet and Henry Carstens, along with István Frank, counted 77 such pieces; while Oskar Schultz-Gora counted 79, and Alfred Jeanroy only 70.

A poem ascribed to a "Sir [En] G. de Lobeuier" in one chansonnier is commonly thought to belong to Guillem de l'Olivier, and some manuscripts also mistakenly call him "Gui" or "Guiraut". The unreliable Jean de Nostredame identified him with a certain Uc de Lobevier (Hugues de Lobières).

It is recorded that he was a member of the "Order of Santa Anna". This is probably a reference to the convent of Santa Anna at Barcelona, which was originally a house of the Order of the Holy Sepulchre under the guidance of the Patriarch of Jerusalem.

In 1420 the friars and canons passed into the Casa del Sant Sepulcre de Santa Anna.
