Scotto (troubadour)

Scotto, Scotz, or Scot was a Genoese troubadour of the mid-thirteenth century.

A document of 25 September 1239 names Guglielmo (William), Corrado (Conrad), Balbo, and Scotto as four brothers of the Scotti family, lending credence to the last suggestion.

[citation needed] In all copies of his only surviving work, his name appears in the Occitan rubrics as "Scotz".

This lone surviving piece is a tenso (and a descort)—Scotz, quals mais vos plazeria—with Bonifaci Calvo, another troubadour of Genoa.

It could have been written either before Calvo left Genoa (c.1250) or after he returned in 1266.
