The Transformation and Decline of the Allegory of Love from the 15th to 17th century Europe

本文旨在揭示欧洲中世纪七宗罪之一、以爱情、奢华和基督教道德为支点的人格化寓言小说《邪恶的美丽女人》。本文以历史文献为基础，特别是以普鲁登提乌斯在9世纪至11世纪的大量精神错乱的图解手稿为基础，从宫廷文化语境和新兴商业城市的文化语境中对卢克索的宗教思想和世俗思想进行了思考和分析。

The purpose of this research is to throw some light upon the personified allegory "Luxuria", an attractive woman of Vice, which is one of the Seven Deadly Sins and aroused a variety of interests as a pivot of Love, Luxury and Christian Morals in European Middle Ages. Based upon historical documents, especially upon many illustrated manuscripts of Prudentius' Psychomachia between the 9th and 11th centuries, I consider and analyze the religious and secular thoughts on LUXURIA in both cultural contexts of the court and the rising commercial cities.
