Pamphilus de amore

Pamphilus de amore (or, simply, Pamphilus or Pamfilus) is a 780-line, 12th-century Latin comedic play, probably composed in France, but possibly Spain. It was "one of the most influential and important of the many pseudo-Ovidian productions concerning the 'arts of Love'" in medieval Europe, and "the most famous and influential of the medieval elegiac comedies, especially in Spain". The protagonists are Pamphilus and Galatea, with Pamphilus seeking to woo her through a procuress (as with the procuress in Book 1.8 of Ovid's Amores).
