abstract
This book offers a reflection upon Medieval Latin artes poetriae and aims to spur the scientific debate on them by means of eleven papers written by internationally-kwown scholars. The essays investigate, according to different perspectives and in different ways, various aspects of the artes: their relations with other texts (Latin and vulgar), their fortune, their sources, the cultural contexts in which they were read and commented, and single authors’ reflections upon specific questions.
