In the Old Occitan lyric, the «rauca» voice implies a qualitative judgment that can define not only the feeling that accompanies the composition, but also the stylistic level of the poetry. Aim of this study is to frame the voice by its spiritual nature and to relate this aspect to the pneumo-phantasmatic character of love and language, as well as to the espressive-affective dimension of the lyric ego. The stylistic value of the hoarse voice will be validated and supplemented by comparisons with late-ancient or Middle-Latin occurrences (Isidore of Seville, Marbodo of Rennes, Baudri of Bourgueil) and tests of philosophical plant.
