Abstract
Considering the Geste des Loherains that he undertakes to change from verse to prose, Philippe de Vigneulles does not try to keep a neutral attitude in his work. On the contrary, he takes possession of the epic material but, as much as he can, he endeavours to transpose its epic style in his prose. According to his own assertion, his enterprise is intended for God and the City of Metz, and he is in permanent complicity with the epic characters and the community of Metz. For the sake of the latter, he displays some pedagogy, which allows the modern reader to guess his tastes and intentions, and to appreciate his own approach to historiography.
