An Etymological Vocabulary to the Libro De Buen Amor of Juan Ruiz Arcipreste De Hita is an indispensable scholarly resource designed to assist readers and researchers in navigating the complex linguistic landscape of one of medieval Spain's greatest literary achievements. Compiled with meticulous care, this work provides a comprehensive guide to the vocabulary used by Juan Ruiz, the Archpriest of Hita, in his 14th-century masterpiece.

The book serves as a vital bridge between modern readers and the nuanced Old Spanish of the original text. Each entry offers deep etymological insights, tracing the origins and development of the words that define Ruiz's satirical, allegorical, and often ribald poetry. By clarifying archaic terms and regional variations, this vocabulary enhances our understanding of the cultural and social milieu of medieval Castile.
