De amore (Andreas Capellanus)
Andreas Capellanus was the twelfth century author of a treatise commonly entitled De amore ("On Love"), also known as De arte honeste amandi, for which a possible English translation is The Art of Courtly Love (though the book's realistic, somewhat cynical tone suggests that it is in some measure an antidote to courtly love). Andreas Capellanus is presumed to have been a courtier of Marie of Troyes, and is sometimes known by a French translation of his name, André le Chapelain.
