- Description
- The Dutch writer Potter (d. 1428) followed a career similar to Chaucer's and also translated the Old French "Melibee." Van Buuren discusses Gower's and Chaucer's uses of Ovid and analyzes Potter's "Der minnen loep" ("The Course of Love") for its use of Ovid's "Heroides" and medieval commentaries.
