called "Le Bossu d'Arras" (Hunchback of Arras); b. Arras, c. 1237; d. Naples, c. 1287. Adam was a famous trouvère, many of whose works have been preserved. The most interesting is a dramatic pastoral, Le Jeu de Robin et de Marion (1285), written for the Anjou court at Naples and resembling an OPÉRA COMIQUE in its plan. He was gifted in the dual capacity of poet and composer. Both simple melodies and harmonized works that he wrote have survived to today.
