Raimond Feraud, 'La Vida de Sant Honorat (Life of Saint Honorat), an adaptation in Provençal verse of the Latin, Vita Sancti Honorati. The text is imperfect, beginning with the rubric, ‘Ayssi comensa la vida el romans de n[ost]ro senh[or] S[ant] Honorat de Lerins’. There are lacunae in the text and it ends at ‘Denfra lo monestier e desus vay bastir’, line 8327 (see Ricketts Vida Sant Honorat (2007), pp. 29, 637).
