Torneyamen

Torneyamen

A "torneyamen" (Occitan for "tournament") or "certamen" was a lyric genre of the troubadours of the thirteenth century. Closely related to the "tenso", a debate between two poets, and the "partimen", a question posed by one poet and another's response, the "torneyamen" took place between several poets, originally usually three. The first three-way "tenso" was initiated by Raimbaut de Vaqueiras with Ademar de Peiteus and Perdigon. [It—"Senher n'Aymar, chauzes de tres baros"—is available, with English translation, [http://www.trobar.org/troubadours/raimbaut_de_vaqueiras/raimbaut_de_vaqueiras_09.php here] .] These wider "tensos" only became known as "torneyamens" later. [Chambers, Frank M. (1985), "An Introduction to Old Provençal Versification" (Diane Publishing, ISBN 0 87169 167 1), p. 151–152.] A "tenso" or "partimen" that was submitted to another troubadour for adjudication may have a poetic "jutjamen" (judgement) attached to it and so may be considered as a "torneyamen" between three. The "torneyamen", like the related debate forms, was probably especially common at contests, such as floral games and "puys". Many such "tensos" and "partimens" come with attached "jutjamens" rendered in verse, as in the example "Senyer Bernatz, dues puncelhas say" cited below.
