274pp. DJ spine faded . Examines three French texts which appear to date from the 1470s. The Amorous Games is a miscellany whose principal underlying force is the compiler's aim to provide a manual of conversation and entertainment for polite society. Included are series of questions and answers belonging to the well-established medieval tradition of the " Demandes amoreuses"; a very large number of riddles, many folk riddles, and "venditions en amours", little poems that apparently came into being as part of a social game.
