[[Guilhem Molinier]], a member of the {{Lang|oc|[[Consistori del Gay Saber]]|italic=no}}, which was the first literary academy in the world and held the [[Floral Games]] to award the best [[troubadour]] with the ''violeta d'aur'' top prize, gave a definition of the syllable in his ''[[Leys d'amor]]'' (1328–1337), a book aimed at regulating then-flourishing [[Occitan language|Occitan]] poetry:

|<poem>''Sillaba votz es literals.''
''Segon los ditz'' {{Not a typo|gramaticals}}.
''En un accen pronunciada.''
''Et en un trag: d'una alenada.''</poem>
|<poem>A syllable is the sound of several letters,
According to those called grammarians,
Pronounced in one accent
And uninterruptedly: in one breath.</poem>
