The concept of "scripta", allows us to reflect on the possibility of comparing scriptorial macro-genres studied so far separately such as the troubadours' "chansonniers" of the local customary government books of the town consulate. The latter are more reliable in terms of dating and localization since they are, so to speak, the linguistic expression of the community town ruled by a consulate. The new edition of the medieval "Thalami" of Montpellier has elements necessary to define a town "scripta" split in two distintc chronological models. Its comparison with the troubadour "chansonniers" written in this region, particulary the chansonnier E, as regards the handwriting but also the progression of the textual status is the main object of this paper.
