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.
The preview is hidden because the digitized text is not reliable enough. The full work remains available.
