Abstract: This article approaches the motive of the seductive and womanizer knight, antecedent of Tirso’s de Molina Don Juan, which corresponds to the motive T10. 4 (G) on Stith Thompson’s Index, “Man continually falling in love”. It makes a revision of arturic Gauvain’s heirs on the castilian romances of chivalry, with special attention to Galaor on the Amadis de Gaula, Rogel de Grecia from Florisel of Niquea and Floriano del Desierto from Palmerín de Inglaterra, in order to discover the twinning features among them, that also make them transgressors of the ideal of courtly love and service to one lady.Keywords: Chivalric romances.

The Ideal

AbstractNeither the model of homo oeconomicus nor Max Weber’s concept of the ideal type have a good reputation these days - to try to combine the two does not seem a promising idea, therefore. It could result in the attempt to tie two sinking ships together - to borrow a metaphor of Alasdair MacIntyre’s which he used in a different context as a comment on the programme of Analyse & Kritik 30 years ago. But perhaps the reasons for the bad reputation of homo oeconomicus and ideal types are connected so that a common retrieval of their honour could be thinkable. I will contemplate this question in the following considerations that are not very systematical but rather exemplary and fragmentary.

The Ideal

Abstract The article explores how Geoffrey Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales discusses human sexuality as a major thematic concern in both its normative and its performative dimension, and sex, an (in)tractable issue throughout the Middle Ages, as a core motif that helps the author to explore the extant tension between the human and the ideal. On the other hand, parody and audience/reader response are important instruments in the medieval poet’s strategy of approaching delicate matters in his pilgrims’ tales, which become readily apparent in the ‘order of play’ in which the tales come. The Miller disrupts the story-telling order because this disruption serves Chaucer’s purpose of questioning the validity of the courtly love concept through a parody of courtly romance, much like the poet’s purported distancing from the heretical views upon human sexuality expressed by the Miller can be decoded as an attempt to restore the balance of power between doctrinal inflexibility and humans’ timeless desire for the natural.

When Luigi Bassi entered the stage of the Prague National Theatre in 1787 to create the title role of Mozart and Da Ponte's Don Giovanni, he could have drawn inspiration from a rich tradition of theatrical, pantomimic and marionette representations of the legendary Don Juan, to which this new opera was the latest contribution. Previous incarnations had been shaped by the likes of Tirso de Molina, Molière, Shadwell, Purcell and Gluck; yet it is Mozart and Da Ponte's version that has for us become the definitive: the Don as paradox; an uncomfortable blend of the despicable and the admirable, hero and anti-hero. Lecher, rapist, liar, cheat, murderer, he is the brutal epitome of macho striving for power and domination, yet clothed with a seductive panache, conviction and bravado — the reckless-heroic libertine phallocrat who would rather face the fires of eternal damnation than curb his appetites.

Arderique es el título de un libro de caballerías castellano, anónimo, publicado en 1517 (Valencia, Juan Viñao). El artículo se centra en la función que desempeña en la obra un personaje, san Paulicio, cuyo auxilio se muestra decisivo en determinados momentos de la acción, empezando por el nacimiento de la heroína del relato. Se estudia el posible entronque de este Paulicio de la ficción con personajes históricos y con las vitae de santos eremitas, como san Pablo de Tebas. Y se estudian, asimismo, los motivos folclóricos que coinciden con las marcas de reconocimiento de la santidad de Paulicio: los leones rastreadores de su cadáver, las campanas tañendo solas y la carta agarrada por una mano cerrada. Los dos últimos, presentes también en la leyenda de doña Sancha de Aragón (contada por don Juan Manuel), pertenecen a la leyenda de otro santo eremita, san Alejo. Mientras que los libros de caballerías o las historias caballerescas del siglo XVI apenas aceptan santos ni milagros, en Arderique el hecho milagroso será un a priori que determine la acción de los protagonistas.

Resumen: El presente trabajo estudia dos motivos recurrentes en el desenlace de la historia de Merlín en los libros de caballerías castellanos: el aprendizaje mágico y el sabio engañado por una mujer. Ambos están ligados a conocidos personajes de la tradición artúrica, como Morgana y Niviana, y al amor que el mago siente por ellas. En la tradición castellana del siglo XVI, los dos motivos señalados fueron centrales para la caracterización del mago, pero su interpretación varió en cada obra.Palabras claves: Merlín. Libros de caballerías castellanos. Sabio engañado y enseñanza mágica.Abstract: The present work studies two frequent motives in Merlin’s story ending in Castilian Chivalric Romances: the wise-man fooled and magic learning. Both motives are linked to well known female characters in Arthurian tradition, like Morgane le Fay and Niniene, and the wizard’s love for the two of them. In the XVIth century Castilian tradition, the motives already mentioned were central for Merlin’s characterization. Nonetheless, its interpretation and uses changed in each text.Keywords: Merlin.

Falling In Love

This article studies a group of romances, appearing first in French in the mid-12th century in the Roman d’Eneas, and later in Anglo-Norman and Middle English (including Ipomadon and William of Palerne), in which the heroine is given priority over the male protagonist in falling in love and acting to bring that love to fruition. These relationships are aimed at marriage and, very often, procreation, in a way that opens the potential for the founding of a dynasty; they thus go against received ideas of both courtly love and antifeminism. The texts are characterised by long soliloquies given to the heroines that anticipate the Petrarchan discourse of desire, though here it is distinctively feminine and carries the hope of fulfilment; and fulfilment and mutuality are in turn given their own distinctive, mimetic form of poetry.
