De amore in volkssprachlicher Literatur: Untersuchungen zur Andreas-Capellanus-Rezeption in Mittelalter und Renaissance

Heidelberg: Carl Winter, 1985.

Description
Karnein argues that the "De amore" was written at the court of Philip Augustus, not in Champagne; that it was to condemn "courtly love'; and that it was so interpreted by its earlier, clerical audience and only later taken nonironically by lay audiences.
