- Formit de Perpinyà
Formit de Perpinyà or Perpegnan was a Catalan
troubadour fromPerpignan in theRoussillon , possibly living in the thirteenth century. His name, Formit, rare for the time, means "satisfied, perfect, ready" and was probably a nickname. Only one "canso" survives to his name, preserved in only onechansonnier . It comprises four "coblas unissonans". Its first line begins "Un dolz dezirs amoros" and it is metrically, but not rhymewise, identical to "A vos, bona don'e pros" which is attributed by some manuscripts toRaimbaut de Vaqueiras and by others left unattributed, leading subsequent scholars to suggest that it was the work of eitherAimeric de Pegulhan or Formit.ources
