The Old French translation of the narrative Dolopathos, by Johannes de Alta Silva/Jean de Haute-Seille, was composed by a trouvere known as Herbert in the early 13th century. Herbert's text follows the narrative pattern established the Latin Dolopathos, though the Old French translation is in octosyllabic verse rather than prose, and Herbert added an additional embedded story - Inclusa - for Virgil to tell. His retelling arguably emphasises the courtly, rather than the theological, elements of the narrative, though the conversion of the prince Lucimien at the end of the narrative remains of substantial focus.
