The earliest record of the heart shape and the heart representing love is a French manuscript “Romance of the Pear” [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_de_la_poire](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_de_la_poire) .

However, it’s unknown if this is the origin of heart shape and hear representing love or if it’s just the earliest surviving example.
