It discovers, from a general perspective, the stylistic and ideological development of the literature of this century. At the same time, looked at from a more limited point of view, the study reveals the peculiarities that the use of onomastics acquires throughout Spanish lyrical poetry of the late Middle Ages as compated with other medieval poetic traditions, including all connected with the composition principles tha are employed, as well its conceptions relating to courtly love.
