Bernat Metge

Bernat Metge (Catalan pronunciation: [bəɾˈnad ˈmedʒə]; c. 1340 – 1413) was a Catalan humanist, best known as the author of Lo Somni (c. 1399).

He held a position at the court of Joan I of Aragon, and, following some troubles, once more served Martí of Aragon.[1]

His influences included the literature of Provence, Petrarch, and De vetula, wrongly attributed to Ovid and now sometimes claimed for Richard de Fournival.[2]
