Literature
There is an immense literature about Jeanne d'Arc
There are so many books written in different language so it’s almost impossible figure out. There are over twenty thousand books about Jeanne d’Arc in the Bibliothèque nationale de France alone. Most books are out of print, and hard to find. Some in the bibliography list are still available.
Christine de Pisan, (born 1364, Venice [Italy]—died c. 1430)
Ditie de Jehanne d’Arc.
Written while Jeanne was still alive.
As the first poem to have been composed – in any language – on Jeanne d’Arc, the only major one to have been written while Jeanne was still alive, and the last from the pen of a distinguished poetess by Christine de Pisan (1364-1431), the Ditié de Jehanne d’Arc has unique claims to fame.
The extrinsic value of the Ditié as an historical document is self-evident. Christine’s poem its unique ‘documentary’ value is the fact that it vividly captures not only the surge of optimism and triumph that swept through the whole of the French camp at this time
