Règles de bonnes manières et de courtoisie dans le Facet catalan (XIVe siècle)
Résumé
Every society produces a reflection upon its own social norms. These are behaviour models adopted by a society or by a group, and they need a long-term learning of social codes. The medieval era isn't an exception. The Catalan “facet” is a prose text stating manners and courtesy rules for knights and middle classes; sort of Ovid’s work’s popularization containing a mix of troubadour’s tradition of courteous love and pieces of advice upon outfit and good behaviour at table. We are going to ana-lyse the different narrative materials helping its elaboration; besides, we’re going to examine the “facet” as an “ars amatoria” defining the good lover’s features.
