«Libro de buen amor» is the medieval miscellany by Juan Ruiz, Arcipreste de Hita, published by Castalia in hardcover (572 pages).
Written in the 14th century, it interweaves a supposed amorous autobiography with narrative, lyrical, satirical and didactic elements. Through the narrator's adventures, Juan Ruiz, archpriest of Hita, portrays a society marked by the coexistence of cultures and by often mocking humor, without renouncing teaching.
Edition from the Biblioteca Clásica Castalia, with introduction and notes by G. B. Gybbon-Monypenny; includes study guidance.
Designed for study, it is suitable for students of medieval literature and for readers interested in Spanish classics.
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.
