Inscriptions and Images in Some Prose Romances (13th-15th C.) Starting from the Platonic idea that links writing to painting by virtue of their power of representation (mimesis), and based on prose romances from the 13th to 15th Centuries (Lancelot-Graal, Prose Tristan, Perceforest, René d'Anjou's Le Cuer d'Amor Espris), which regularly inserted the text of inscriptions in their narratives, this article examines the visual power of these inscriptions, viewed from their purely iconic dimension within the narrative itself. The article then considers ways in which the inscribed characters are linked to the meaning of what is seen, either as material objects or as elements perceived within a dreamlike framework. Finally, inscriptions and images are considered jointly, their association apparently transformed into a relationship: between dream and reality, sacred and profane, or Time Past and Time Present.
