A salut d'amor

lyric poem of the troubadours, written as a letter from one lover to another in the tradition of courtly love. Some songs preserved in the Italian Quattrocento and Cinquecento chansonniers are labelled in the rubrics as saluts (or some equivalent), but the salut is not treated as a genre by medieval Occitan grammarians. The trouvères copied the Occitan song style into Old French as the salut d'amour. There are a total of nineteen surviving Occitan saluts and twelve French ones,[b] with a Catalan
examples (of the salutació amorosa) also.

The poetic form probably derives from the

hexasyllabic and Raimon de Miraval wrote a heterometric salut.[1] They often end with a one-word verse, unrhymed with anything previous, that gives the addressee: Domna or Dompna.[2]

The first salut d'amor was probably Domna, cel qe'us es bos amics, written by

Philippe de Rémi
.

Destret d'emors mi clam a vos is a 708-line long anonymous Catalan salut.
