Description
Summary:<span lang="EN-GB">After a quick survey of the rules about the art of kissing in the courtly love tradition and in the French<em> artes amandi</em> of the Middle Ages, this paper focuses on the moral rules about the kiss diffused in the books by the grey friar Francesc Eiximenis (1327-1409). The discussion about the kiss in chapter 176 of the<em> Tirant lo Blanc</em> –a me­dieval chivalric romance written by Joanot Martorell between 1460 and 1468– is approached through the contrast between Eiximenis' moral rules and the profan rules. As a result of this analysis a better understanding of the ideas and attitudes of the romance heroes is achieved.</span>
