The Historia de las amors e vida del cavaller Paris e de Viana is an erotic novel-chivalresque, whose plot was summed up thus by Ramón Menéndez Pidal: "it is reduced to a very simple fable of consistent and pursued love, enlivened with the usual memories of the Crusades and forced captivity in Palestine".

This incunabula in colour, with no typographic indications, attributed to Diego de Gumiel's printing house around 1497, and here reproduced, is from the Biblioteca de Catalunya and is the only known copy in the world.

International social justice movements and the debates that ensued prompted us to start considering the contents of our website from a critical point of view. This has led us to acknowledge that most of the texts in our database are Western-centered. We have asked the authors of our content to be aware of the underlying racial and cultural bias in many scholarly sources, and to try to keep in mind multiple points of view while describing the manuscripts. We also recognize that this is yet a small, first step towards fighting inequality.

If you notice any trace of racist or unjust narratives in our communications, please help us be part of the change by letting us know.
