If La vie de Saint Louis is in the tradition of the chronicle and hagiography, it is distinguished by the originality of its point of view. Joinville focuses on the episodes of the reign of Louis IX of which he was the privileged witness. Jacques Monfrin’s reference edition is accompanied by a rich scholarly apparatus.

Review - French Si la Vie de Saint Louis propose un recit exemplaire des faits et gestes de Louis IX dans la tradition de la chronique et de l'hagiographie, elle s'en distingue par l'originalite du point de vue. Joinville raconte a la premiere personne les grands episodes du regne dont il fut le temoin privilegie, comme la septieme croisade. En grand memorialiste, il fait revivre le roi, non dans une saintete stereotypee et figee, mais comme un etre de passion et de joie. Le regard du chroniqueur se teinte de celui de l'ethnologue au contact de nouvelles cultures en Terre sainte. Cette edition de reference, etablie par Jacques Monfrin, s'accompagne d'un riche appareil critique signalant les variantes du texte et l'eclairant par des commentaires historiques.
