Les Ordonnances Generalles d’Amour, were published anonymously in 1564 and later acknowledged by their author Etienne Pasquier. They belong to the literature of the Basoche (the guild of clerks of the Paris legal system in pre-revolutionary France). This pastiche of royal decrees invites the reader to discover the ribald content beneath their apparent meaning.
