Abstract

This article situates the Segunda Celestina by Feliciano de Silva in his historic context, especially in the context of the economic thinking of its time. The authors analyzes that the text offers different love models. The majority of the relationships in the text corresponds to an economized love which objectifies the other. In contrast to this economized love their appears an example of courtly love and one of pastoral love. The text concludes, then, that Silva's text is far from proclaiming medieval values, but participates in the 16th-century discussions of an increasing mercantilisation.
