Domna, tant vos ai preiada
Domna, tant vos ai preiada ("Lady, so much I have endeared you") is a 1190 poetic composition by Raimbaut de Vaqueiras.[1] It is the earliest known text to have written Ligurian. In the poem, a Provençal-speaking jester (believed to be Vaqueiras) tries to attract a Genovese woman.[2] The woman keeps rejecting him by using insults in the Genoese vernacular.
The woman compares the jester's Provençal to German, Berber, and Sardinian (No t'entend plui d'un Todesco / Sardesco o Barbarì), three languages she couldn't understand.[3][4] This section in particular, has been mentioned several times in the history of Sardinian.[5][6][7][8]
