Abstract

Andreas Capellanus’ treatise on love, De amore has been interpreted in many different ways. Scholars agree on only one thing: this work presents a scholastic understanding of love in a rigorous and structured way. We are not sure of the identity of the author from the surviving documents, but he wrote in Latin in a French context sometime in the 12th century. In my study, I will explore who Andreas Capellanus might have been, as well as the supposed date of the work.
