Opis

Mandeville's Travels was written in French in c. 1356 by an unknown author, possibly a regular in an abbey in northern France. This volume, an edition of the earliest and most important English translation of the French text of the Travels, contains a full commentary with new information about the sources.

Recenzje

Seymour makes light work of the notoriously knotty problems of the Mandeville manuscripts, bringing economy and clarity to matters of orthography, collation, dialect, omission, and lacunae.
