Key texts include Floire & Blancheflor, Kallirhoe, ʿUrwa & ʿAfrāʾ , and Varqa & Gulshāh
Poetic Alchemy: The Rise of Romance from a Persian Perspective
The eleventh and twelfth centuries witnessed either the rise or revival of long-form amorous narratives in at least four courtly language traditions across the southwestern flank of Eurasia: Persian, Georgian, Greek, and French.
