His real identity has never been determined, but has been a matter of extended academic debate. Andreas Capellanus is sometimes known by a French translation of his name, André le Chapelain. (...) The work deals with several specific themes that were the subject of poetical debate among late twelfth century troubadours and trobairitz. The basic conception of Capellanus is that courtly love ennobles both the lover and the beloved, provided that certain codes of behaviour are respected. De amore describes the affection between spouses as an unrelated emotion, stating that "love can have no place between husband and wife," although they may feel even "immoderate affection" for one another. Rather, the most ennobling love is generally secret and extremely difficult to obtain, serving as a means for inspiring men to great deeds." #CourtlyLove #Antiquarian #booksale #TheArtOfCourtlyLove #CuttleboneBooks #Bookstagram #Books #FrederickUngarPublishing #Bookworm #booksforsale #readersofinstagram #Vintage #DeAmore #AndreasCapellanus #bibliophile #instaread #MilestonesOfThought #instabooks #CourtneyLove #collectiblebooks #BooksBooksBooks bookcollecting
