The Saint Petersburg Breviari d’Amor is an illuminated manuscript of a long and rambling poetic text about divine and erotic love by Matfre Ermengaud. The text is considered one of the most important works of literature in Occitan and is famous for its extensive quotations from troubadour poetry. The manuscript, copied in Lleida around 1300, is extensively illuminated, its more than 200 miniatures providing insight into Ermengaud’s understanding of the love of God, theology, and the law.

International social justice movements and the debates that ensued prompted us to start considering the contents of our website from a critical point of view. This has led us to acknowledge that most of the texts in our database are Western-centered. We have asked the authors of our content to be aware of the underlying racial and cultural bias in many scholarly sources, and to try to keep in mind multiple points of view while describing the manuscripts. We also recognize that this is yet a small, first step towards fighting inequality.

If you notice any trace of racist or unjust narratives in our communications, please help us be part of the change by letting us know.
