About This Book

A didactic Latin poem in three books offers playful, practical instruction in courtship and seduction, first advising men on where to find partners and how to win them, second giving rules to maintain and deepen relationships, and third addressing women with tactics to attract and retain lovers; interwoven are mythic and episodic digressions, witty counsel on social rituals and appearance, and reflections on gender dynamics and desire; written in elegiac couplets, it mixes moral ambiguity and irony while treating love as an art to be learned.
