Guillaume d'Amiens or Guillaume le Peigneur (floruit late 13th century) was a trouvère and painter from Amiens. All his music is contained in one chansonnier (songbook) of Arras, now manuscript "Latin 1490" in the Bibliotheca Apostolica Vaticana. In it, the rubrics which accompany the songs identify Guillaume as a paigneur, "painter". He may even be the artist who added the large illumination which precedes his songs in the manuscript. The preservation of his works in a single book is an identical case to that of fellow trouvères Adam de la Halle and Jehannot de l'Escurel. The only reference to Guillaume (the French form of William) outside of the chansonnier is in a list of taxpayers in Amiens in 1301, which mentions a "William the Painter" (Willelmi pictoris in Latin).

Guillaume's musical corpus comprises eight monophonic rondeaux, two chansons d'amour, and one virelai. He also wrote four other lyric poems which do not survive with music. Guillaume's rondeaux and the virelai are typical for the time, although with slight variations in the refrains, perhaps representing how they were actually performed. In "Prendés i garde" an irregularity in the prosody is reflected in an irregularity in the music. His melodies usually emphasize the perfect fifth from D to A.

Guillaume d'Amiens ou Guillaume le Peigneur est un trouvère et un peintre actif à la fin du XIIIe siècle[1].

[it] Guillaume d'Amiens

Guillaume d'Amiens, o Guillaume le Peigneur (... – ...; fl. tardo XIII secolo), è stato un troviero e pittore originario di Amiens. Tutta la sua musica è contenuta in un chansonnier (canzoniere) di Arras, ora Latino 1490 nella Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana. In esso, le rubriche che accompagnano le canzoni lo identificano come un paigneur, "pittore", che potrebbe avere aggiunto la grande miniatura che precede le sue stesse canzoni. La conservazione dei suoi lavori in questa maniera è paragonabile a quella dei colleghi trovieri Adam de la Halle e Jehannot de l'Escurel. Il solo riferimento a Guillaume (la forma francese di Guglielmo) esterna al canzoniere è un elenco di contribuenti ad Amiens del 1301, dove viene menzionato un certo "Guglielmo il Pittore" (Willelmi pictoris).
