Abstract

This article analyzes central aspects of the works De amore by Andrew the Chaplain and The mirror of simple souls by Marguerite Porete. These are texts that adress the question of love, the one that exists between a man and a woman and between the soul and divinity, respectively. Both works were condemned for being judged heretical. Both works express love as an excess and its consequent effects. In these texts, we propose to characterize the idea of love and establish similarities and differences. For this purpose we will present each one of the works minimally, consider their conceptulization of love and the ways in which they understand that such intense passion must be regulated in the secular and mystical sphere. In this way, we try to provide an analysis that specifies some aspects of medieval conceptions of love.
