The book is believed to have been intended to portray conditions at Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine's court at Poitiers between 1170 and 1174, and written the request of her daughter, Countess Marie of Troyes. As such, it is important for its connections to themes of contemporary Latin lyric, in troubadour poetry and in the French romances of Chrétien de Troyes. Thereafter its influence spread throughout Western Europe, so that the treatise is of fundamental importance for students of medieval and renaissance English, French, Italian and Spanish. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this comprehensive edition, P.G. Walsh includes Trojel's Latin text with his own facing English translation with explanatory notes, commentary and indexes, along with introduction which sets the treatise in its contemporary context and assesses its purpose and importance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andreas Capellanus\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0715616900\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780715616901\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bristol Classical Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/02\/1993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 330\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.80d","brand":"Andreas Capellanus","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46906585678079,"sku":"9780715616901","price":51.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_836da717-67f2-4327-a947-c194430eb5ac.jpg?v=1748770850","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/andreas-capellanus-on-love-andreas-capellanus-9780715616901","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
