The function of the author in the Middle Ages, as demonstrated by the iconography of Guillaume de Machaut’s manuscripts
 Panušková, Lenka
This paper addresses the depicting of the poet and author Guillaume de Machaut. Several of Machaut’s compositions or “dits” reflect the principles of poetry, and in this context they also reflect his status as an author or authority. During his lifetime two manuscripts were created, MS fr. 1586 (c. 1350) and MS fr. 1584 (c. 1370), which scholars believe may have been produced under Machaut’s direct supervision. Several other manuscripts dating form after Machaut’s death have also been preserved, of which MS fr. 9221 and MSS fr. 22545-22546 in particular are also the subject of this study. Illuminations featuring Machaut in the role of author can be divided into three groups (poet-scribe, university iconography, inspired poet), each of which emphasises a different aspect of writing and presenting poetry. However, it seems that despite attempts by some scholars to see Machaut’s direct influence in the illuminations, the individual masters were working with contemporary iconography.
