Hi
Would anyone please know anything more about the authorship of "O Fortuna", the poem from the "Carmina Burana" collection, apart from the well-known fact that it's a medieval Latin Goliardic poem written early in the thirteenth century?
Particularly I would be glad to know whether it is a work of some German, French or other Goliard(s), whether there are some suggestions about the particular circles, establishment (university?), town or region where this particular poem might have been created, or whether there have even been any modern attempts to atribute the authorship to some particular, non-anonymous clergyman or student.
Thank you very much in advance for any help.
