This article traces the motif of “pleasing God and the world” through three centuries, from Thomasin von Zerklaere’s Welscher Gast (1215/1216) to texts from the fourteenth-century Habsburg court (Peter Suchenwirt, treatise Von der Ordnung der Fürsten ) and Baldesar Castiglione’s Libro del Cortegiano (1518/1528). I argue that the notion of courteous, “polite” behavior remains fundamentally linked throughout the medieval and early modern periods to the desire to synthesize social and religious claims. While in Thomasin and Castiglione the idea of “pleasing God and the world” is based on an essentially neo-Platonic aesthetic, the Habsburg court and its texts display a pious theological interpretation of the motif with a move toward Passion mysticism
