Summary: "Les cinquante et ung arretz d'amours" by d'Auvergne Martial is a collection of fictional court decrees related to love, likely written during the late 14th century. The text presents a whimsical and allegorical legal framework for examining various romantic disputes, showcasing the absurdities and paradoxes of love through a series of fanciful court cases and rulings. The interaction of characters within these cases serves to explore themes of fidelity, desire, and the cultural norms surrounding romantic relationships. At the start of the work, the reader is introduced to a grand assembly known as the "parlement d'amours" where various love-related cases are heard and decided upon. The opening details the sumptuous setting and the characters in attendance, including noble ladies and men adorned in luxurious garments, setting a vibrant mood. Various plaintiffs and defendants present their cases, illustrating complex love entanglements and grievances, from issues of affection and betrayal to demands for reparations and love tokens. These early testimonies foreshadow a series of rich and humorous narratives that blend legal parlance with the emotional turbulence of love, inviting the reader into a world where romantic affairs are adjudicated with all the serious deliberation of a legal court.
