About This Item

1813 Romance of the ROSE Guillaume de Lorris Medieval French Poetry BEAUTIFUL

"The more a man gazes on what he loves, the more he sets fire to his heart and bastes it with bacon fat."

― Guillaume de Lorris, The Romance of the Rose

The 'Roman de la Rose' is a famous 13th-century Medieval French poem written as an allegorical dream sequence. It was written by Guillaume de Lorris and Jean de Meun who sought to express the feelings of romantic love, sexuality, and chivalry. Thought to be the most widely read book other than the Bible in the 13th- and 14th-centuries, it was highly influential on other authors including notably Geoffrey Chaucer.

This early 19th-century edition was published in Paris beautifully bound in Moroccan leather. Edited by Dominique Meon.
