520 _aThis article presents a minutely detailed analysis of the idea and experience of love as represented by the songwriter Rigaut de Barbezieux. The author outlines the stages of a logical journey taken by Rigaut de Barbezieux as the first troubadour to conceive of amorous passion as a form of purely selfless contemplation that even excluded the communication between souls. His historical originality would lie in the fact that he was the first troubador to express, clearly and with a remarkable sense of importance, the ideal encompassed in the expression "courtly love" in its simplest and most popular form. The religious allegories encompassed within the comparisons so lavishly developed by the poet harmonize remarkably with this idea of profane love as a kind of pious and moral cult.
