OLD FRENCH: moysne/moisne and aulP

[orpheus_samhain]

Since I can't find it in any Old French dictionary that is available to me, and it's driving me nuts, I decided to post here in hopes that someone would know the meaning of the word "moysne"/"moisne" and the word that looks like "aulP" (the second in the first row, then again in the second row, and more), but maybe I'm not able to decipher it

François Villon's best known ballade, the one with the refrain Mais ou sont les neiges d'antan?, has the phrase et puis moyne, about Abelard, which means "and then [made a] monk." It would be plausible for moysne/moisne to be an earlier form of moyne.

Are you sure that's a P? It looks as if it might be a slightly fancy t, making the word ault. Would that make sense?

Perhaps it's a g and not a long s? https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/moingne#Old_French

That would be awesome, but I can't tell a difference between this supposed 'g' and 't' I'm sure of.

Thank you. Yes, that P seems to be a 't'. 'Ault' can be a form of 'autre' or 'le'. I assume it's autre here, although I'm not able to read it yet.

Monk seems plausible in this context, but I haven't found that variation with 's' inside. With 'g' yes, but not with 's'.

Moysnes is moines (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/moyne#Middle_French)

The other I also read as ault. Look at the mlt that can be seen several times (ault prescha mlt, line 1 or end of line 2: admounesta mlt), the lt is written the same, looking almost like a P. Mlt is a short form of moult it seems.

Aul is a form of el (http://micmap.org/dicfro/search/dictionnaire-godefroy/ault) which is a form of autre (http://micmap.org/dicfro/search/dictionnaire-godefroy/el.) Could ault be another aul maybe.

But where that 's' comes from and why can't I find this version anywhere?

Yes, this seems to be ault. Thank you!

Herehttp://www.cnrtl.fr/definition/dmf/MOINE there is a version with an -s (moisne, though, not moysne).

Thank you!
