Jean d'Arras
Jean d'Arras was a 15th century North French tale-teller (trouvere) of whom all we know is that he collaborated with Antoine du Val and Fouquart de Cambrai in putting together a collection of stories entitled Les Vangiles de Quenouille ("The spinners' Tales"). The frame story is that these are the narratives told a group of ladies at their spinning, who relate the current theories on a great variety of subjects.
