El Conde Lucanor, también conocido como El libro de Patronio, es una colección de cuentos escritos por Don Juan Manuel en el siglo XIV. Esta edición, publicada por Espasa-Calpe en su colección Austral, presenta una selección de estos relatos medievales que combinan entretenimiento con enseñanzas morales. El autor utiliza la estructura de un diálogo entre el Conde Lucanor y su consejero Patronio para ofrecer consejos prácticos y reflexiones sobre la vida y la sociedad de la época.
Don Juan Manuel was a Spanish medieval writer, nephew of Alfonso X of Castile, son of Manuel of Castile and Beatrice of Savoy. He inherited from his father the great Lordship of Villena, receiving the titles of Lord, Duke and lastly Prince of Villena. He married three times, choosing his wives for political and economic convenience, and worked to match his children with partners associated with royalty. Juan Manuel became one of the richest and most powerful men of his time, coining his own currency as the kings did. During his life, he was criticised for choosing literature as his vocation, an activity thought inferior for a nobleman of such prestige.
