abstract
  • The Art of Courtly Love is an essay written by the 12th-century scholar Andreas Capellanus. Styled after a scholastic philosophic argument, it describes what love is, how one may obtain it, its value to society, and its drawbacks. Its most famous section is its 31 "Rules of Love", which are supposed to describe the proper behavior of people in love. Sounds simple enough, right? Wrong. It becomes apparent when reading Capellanus' essay that his "Rules of Love" are not relevant to real-life relationships; indeed, in the context of a real relationship, many of them would be quite nonsensical, especially given the prevalent social atmosphere of the time. Rather, the "Rules of Love" are a tongue-in-cheek catalogue of some of the tropes common in romances and tales of courtly love of the time period, such as the works of Chretien De Troyes and Marie De France. In other words? He did exactly what we are doing. This is one of the oldest Books on Trope, surpassed only by Aristotle.
