Dirc Potter, the 'Dutch Ovid' and His Der minnen loep (The Course of Love)
Original language description
Dirc Potter (c1370-1428) was one of the few Dutch medieval writers who wrote an 'Ovidian' Course of Love that may be compared with Chaucer's Legende of Goode Women. Potter was secretary of the Counts of Holland and received his education presumably at the Court School in The Hague, founded in 1378. In 1415, he was raised to nobility. His Der minnen loep must have been written immediately after 1413, in later years, he wrote Blomme der Doechden, an adaptation of the Fiore di Virtù of Tommaso Gozzadini (1260–1330), and somewhere at the end of his life the Van Melibeo ende van sinre vrouwen Prudencia (On Melibeus and his wife Prudencia), a translation of the French Livre de Mellibée (1337) by the Dominican Renaud de Louhans. Seemingly, Potter considered the last two works to be one complex, as the first letters of the chapters of the latter two form the acrostichon DIRIC POTTER VANDER LOO VTEN HAGE HEEFT MI GEMAECT / GOD SI ES GHELOEFT ENDE GHEBENEDIJT VAN ALS. AMEN. His Der minnen loep is extant in two manuscripts. An analysis of the text shows the influence of medieval school commentaries on Ovid on Potter's work. The chapter gives a couple of examples.
