«Libro de buen amor» is the medieval verse classic by the Archpriest of Hita, published by Espasa in paperback (426 pages, in Spanish).
Written in the 14th century, the book blends an invented autobiography with fables, serranillas, satires and moral reflections. Throughout its verses, Juan Ruiz alternates religious and profane tones to show the contradictions of human and divine love, while ironically portraying the society of his time.
It belongs to the Austral Collection of Espasa-Calpe, number 9, and includes an introduction and notes by Nicasio Salvador Miguel, with the text edited by Jacques Joset.
Aimed at students and readers of medieval Spanish literature who want an annotated edition of this classic.
