Abstract

The Libra de buen amor is the masterpiece of the Spanish Middle Ages. This rollicking, witty, satirical book, which purports to teach about the good love of things beyond this earth, manages to convey extremely well the temptations and vicissitudes concerned with that variety found in the present. It has charmed and fascinated readers both Spanish and foreign since the fourteenth century. A number of critics have sensed a kind of spiritual similarity between Juan Ruiz and Chaucer and it has been recently pointed out that the English poet might even have known the Libro de buen amor.
