What it is about
Lo somni (1399): the great dialogue of medieval Catalan prose.
Context and history
**Warning: this catalogue entry is essentially empty.** The text could not be installed. The reason is documented: the only public-domain edition located — J.-M. Guardia's, Paris 1889 — has OCR that cannot be read (confidence 63.59/100, a third of words below 50), and the complete alternatives carry editorial contributions protected in Spain until 2027. **No corrector has been run over it**: a tidied text would not be a real edition. Metge, imprisoned, argues with the ghost of King John I about the immortality of the soul, and ends with a ferocious satire against women and another against men. When a legible copy appears, it will go in.
Editorial context, not a citable source: unlike the passages of the work itself, these statements cannot be checked against the corpus.
