Libro de motes de damas y caballeros" by Luis Milán is a historical text likely written in the late 16th century. The work serves as a guide to the customs and behaviors expected of a gentleman, showcasing the interactions and relationships within a noble court setting. The text delves into the wit and exchanges between various characters, providing insight into social norms and ideals of nobility during this time period. The opening of the work introduces the context and intentions behind it, noting the rarity and significance of Milán's writing as a reflection of Spanish courtly life. It begins with a whimsical anecdote set in ancient Rome, illustrating the importance of the virtuous knight and presenting the idea of what it means to be 'cortesano' (courteous) in both word and deed. Following this introduction, the narrative includes a lively depiction of a royal hunt involving the Duke of Calabria and his court, characterized by exchanges of riddles and playful banter among nobles and their spouses, setting the stage for deeper explorations of love, jealousy, and social gamesmanship that will unfold throughout the text.
