«Libro de Buen Amor» is the medieval miscellany by Juan Ruiz, Arcipreste de Hita, published by Espasa Calpe in paperback (162 pages, in Spanish).
Written in the 14th century, the work mixes narrative, lyric and satire: its narrator recounts successive amorous attempts and alternates these episodes with fables, examples and moral and religious reflections, in a tone that oscillates between the didactic and the burlesque.
This edition belongs to the Austral Collection of Espasa Calpe and bears number 98 of that collection.
It is aimed at readers interested in the classics of medieval Spanish literature.
Juan Ruiz, known as the Archpriest of Hita, was a medieval Castilian poet. He is best known for his ribald, earthy poem, El Libro de buen amor.
