Peire Vidal was from Toulouse, son of a furrier. And he sang better than anyone else in the world and was a good composer; and he was one of the maddest men who ever existed, because he thought that everything that he wanted was true. And to compose was easier for him than for any other man in the world, and he was the one who composed the most elaborate melodies, and was the most insane both in fighting and in loving. And he slandered the others; and truly the knight of San Giles caused him to have his tongue cut, because Peire suggested that he was his wife’s lover; and Uc des Baux had him healed and treated. And when he recovered, he went overseas, and he brought home from there a Greek woman who was given to him as a wife in Cyprus.

Pierre Emmanuel Vidal-Naquet (French:[vidalnakɛ]; 23 July 1930 – 29 July 2006) was a French historian who began teaching at the École des hautes études en sciences sociales (EHESS) in 1969.
Vidal-Naquet was a specialist in the study of Ancient Greece, but was also interested (and deeply involved) in contemporary history, particularly the Algerian War (1954–62), during which he opposed the use of torture by the French Army, as well as Jewish history. He participated with Michel Foucault and Jean-Marie Domenach in the founding of the Groupe d'information sur les prisons (GIP), which was one of the first French new social movements. He was part of debates over historiography in which he criticised negationism, and he was a supporter of Middle East peace efforts. To the end of his life, Vidal-Naquet never abandoned his fascination with Antiquity.
