«La Farce de Maître Pathelin» is the anonymous 15th-century farce adapted by Françoise Rachmühl, published by Hatier in paperback (128 pages, in French).
Maître Pathelin promises his wife to get a beautiful cloth without paying for it, and to achieve this he resorts to tricks and his gift of the gab. From that initial deception, more traps follow, a parody of a trial and the classic motif of the trickster tricked, in a brief 15th-century farce considered a masterpiece of medieval French comedy.
The original play dates from around 1485. School edition with complete text, appendix on the satire of justice, bibliography and index; Classiques Hatier collection, Œuvres et thèmes.
It is aimed at the school environment: with its pedagogical apparatus, it accompanies students and readers approaching medieval French theater.
