Using both literary sources and inscriptions up to 1200, the book establishes the organization, personnel and protocol of the royal household as the background for a sustained examination of courtly ethics, notions of beauty, and theories of erotic love.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Daud Ali\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521283353\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521283359\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/22\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 318\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.03lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.71d","brand":"Daud Ali","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46838255288575,"sku":"9780521283359","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0d9cf8bf-5a20-449c-a693-8389ba955ed9.jpg?v=1746589272","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/courtly-culture-and-political-life-daud-ali-9780521283359","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
