THE
FIRST PRINTED TRANSLATIONS
INTO ENGLISH
PREFACE
This bibliography has been compiled with the view of supplementing
existing text books on English literary history, and assisting
students in preparing for examinations in Bibliography and
Literature. It will also be found of service to those who are working
for the professional examinations of the Library Association.
Students of literature, more particularly of English literature,
experience much difficulty in tracing the outside influences which
at various periods, or, perhaps, speaking more correctly, at all
periods, have affected or moulded our literature. The great foreign
classics have exercised a direct and decided influence upon English
literature and the object of this bibliography is to give in concise
form the authors and titles, translations and dates of the first
English translations of the chief foreign authors, and incidentally
to enable students to note the effect of such translations on the
works of many of our great imaginative writers.
So far as it has been possible to discover, no work of this kind
exists in this country. Students are frequently reminded of the
special need for such a bibliography as this, and to all interested
in the subject it should serve a useful purpose, and perhaps help to
fill a gap in literary bibliography.
Students have been asked such questions as--give the date of the
first translation into English of _Don Quixote_, of _The Arabian
Nights_, Boccaccio's _Decameron_, or of Homer. Such questions as
these naturally involve some inquiry and research on the part of the
student, and occupy a larger amount of time than is necessary for the
purpose. Hence the necessity for a brief bibliography of this nature,
which will show at a glance the first translations into English of
the most important foreign classics, and save inquirers the fatigue
of searching catalogues, bibliographies and similar works.
The dictionary form of arrangement has been adopted with the authors
in alphabetical order. In some instances a work has been noticed
twice, in which case the first entry will generally be found to be
an edition, either issued in an incomplete form, or with a doubtful
date. It has also been found necessary to enumerate in nearly all
cases the separate works of each author; the complete works not
appearing till a much later time. The date of original publication
has occasionally been given in brackets, and where a date is seen in
square brackets [ ], it denotes the approximate date of publication.
The anthologies, collections, folk and fairy tales, poetical and
traditional literature have been placed in their national order under
French, German, etc., many important minor works have been published
in these forms, and many important poems have been first translated
in these anthologies, often long before they have appeared in the
author's translated works.
The most important of the Anglo-Saxon, etc., romances have been
included in this Bibliography and appear generally under their
titles. These have played a very important part in the development of
our literature, and many may be considered as foreign, having derived
their origin from foreign sources.
No one is more conscious than the compiler of the difficulties
this little work has entailed, and no one is more conscious of its
imperfections. As far as possible each entry has been verified at
least three times, and from different sources, yet inaccuracies may
have crept in, and any corrections, additions or suggestions will be
thankfully acknowledged.
This bibliography could have been much enlarged, but the endeavour
has been to include only those authors whose work has gone to the
making of English literature, or who stand pre-eminent as introducing
a special school, class or form.
I desire to offer to Mr. James D. Brown my best thanks for his
suggestions in the early stages of this compilation, and to Dr. Baker
for his kindly criticism, and also for going through the proofs.
WILLIAM JAMES HARRIS.

Nearly all subsequent fables are based upon Æsop. Has affected

KING ALEXANDER. A Greek romance upon him had been written in 1060
by Simon Seth. This romance was _tr._ into Latin and became the
groundwork of many French and English poems. In 1200 Gaultier de
Chatillon turned it into an 'Alexandreis' which was one of the best
Latin poems of the Middle Ages.
At about the beginning of the reign of John the great French
romance was composed in nine books, containing altogether about
20,000 of the twelve-syllabled lines since known, from their
use in that poem, as 'Alexandrines'.

These extravagant chivalric romances, with their even more
phantastic descendants dating from thirteenth century, had a
great vogue for about 300 years, but were ridiculed out of
existence by Cervantes.
'Like the Arthurian and Carlovingian romances, portrays the
manners, the religion, and the ideas of love, honour and
morality that prevailed when it was written. The "Amadis", says
Ticknor, is admitted by general consent to be the best of all
the old romances of chivalry'.

'Ariosto', says Hallam, 'has been, after Homer, the favourite
poet of Europe.'
A. based his epics on the writings of Virgil. He was Spenser's
favourite poet, who suggested the style and form used in the
'Faerie Queene'.
'Orlando Furioso' is closely imitated from Boiardo's 'Orlando
Innamorato.' His 'Satyres' are written in the Horatian manner.

=ARTHUR.=
ARTHUR, KING OF GREAT BRITAIN. A Book of the Noble Hystoryes of Kynge
Arthur, and of Certeyn of his knyghtes, reduced into Englysshe by Syr
Thomas Malory, Kynght and by me William Caxton. 1485.
Tennyson's 'Idylls of the King' and Arnold's 'Tristram and
Iseult' are taken from the above legends.
(Also noticed under Anglo-Saxon collections.)
'In 1155 the Jersey Norman, Robert Wace, converts and amplifies
Geoffrey's work into the French romance "Brut d'Engleterre" or
"Geste des Bretons", introducing for the first time the Table
Round. This again is developed in English verse by Layamon in
his "Brut" of 1205. From various sources and by various hands,
the Arthurian legends are increased. Milton for a time was
strongly attached to this subject, and in his "Epitaphium
Damonis" he shows the hold which the Arthurian legends had
taken upon him, and he explicitly proposed to make Arthur and
the British knights the subject of an epic'.
=ARTHUR. 14th century.=
_Ed._ Furnivall, E.E.T.S., 1864.
=ARTHUR OF LITTLE BRITAIN.= THE HYSTORY OF ARTHUR OF LYTELL BRYTAYNE,
translated out of Frensshe in to Englishe, by the noble Johan
Bourghcher, Knyght, Lord Berners. 1493.
Not the Arthurian legend, but irresponsible adventures like the
Amadis. Said to have had a great influence on Spenser's Faerie
Queene.
Arthur and Charlemagne are among the first and original heroes of
romance, in whose chronicles are displayed the characters, the
leading subjects, and the fundamental fictions which have supplied
such ample matter to this form of composition. 'As Geoffrey's history
is the grand repository of the acts of Arthur, so a fabulous history,
ascribed to Archbishop Turpin, is the groundwork of all the legends
told of the conquest of Charlemagne and his twelve peers'.

NAMED VIOLENTA EXECUTED UPON HER LOVER DIDACO.... Newly translated

'The Bishop of Agen, was the most important of the Italian
_novellieri_. His "Novello" is a popular story, derived from
the French _fabliau_, full of spirited action, and true to the
life of his time'.
Shakespeare, Massinger and other English dramatists derived
some of their plots from B. Thus 'Romeo and Juliet', 'Measure
for Measure', 'Othello', etc., are all from the 'Novello'. The
Elizabethans also imitated B. largely.
The stories of Bandello enjoyed a wide vogue in France and
England, and formed matter for the exploitation of every class
of our Elizabethan dramatists and writers of fiction.

Denmark, but Sharon Turner gave the first account of it in

'If we were to take our greatest authors and read them through,
pencil in hand; if we were to mark those words and images and
turns of expression which we feel to be derived consciously or
unconsciously from the English version of the Hebrew Bible, we
should be amazed to find how much of purely literary strength
and dignity that one book has added to our tongue'.--T. G.
Tucker.

NOVELS AND TALES. _Tr._ 1684.
Boccaccio directly borrowed his 'Teseide' from Statius'
'Thebaid', A.D. 70. Introduced the octave stanza. The
'Knight's Tale' and 'Troilus and Cressida' of Chaucer are from
the 'Teseide' of B., as also is Shakespeare's 'Troilus and
Cressida' from the 'Filostrato.' 'All's Well that Ends Well' is
also from B. Chaucer borrowed very freely from him.
The 'Decameron' suggested to Chaucer his plan for the
'Canterbury Tales', and also some of the 'Tales' themselves,
and its influence on the development of the English novel was
enormous.
'The "Decameron" consists of a hundred stories supposed to
be related in ten consecutive days, by a party of ten ladies
and gentlemen, who had retreated to a charming asylum from
plague-stricken Florence in the year 1348. Some of the stories
are tragedies, some are comic, some idylls. B. took most of his
plots from the current fiction of his time, from the popular
French _fabliaux_, from Oriental and classical sources, from
actual history, and from tradition'.
For other copyings from B. it may be enough to mention
Lydgate's 'Falls of Princes' and the 'Mirror for Magistrates'
(1559) based on the 'De Casibus Illustrium Virorum' of the
Italian.

THE BOKE OF CONSOLACION OF PHILOSOPHIE. _Tr._ by Geoffrey Chaucer.
[1490]. Printed by Caxton.
[This work was first translated by King Alfred into Anglo-Saxon.]
'Boethius stood to the Dark Ages for the exemplar of the
philosopher. His place in mediaeval reading was very high, and
may be gauged from the fact that in England Alfred the Great
translated his "Consolations" into Anglo-Saxon. To Chaucer,
as to all the mediaeval world, "Boece" was part of the staple
library'.

Roscommon's 'Essay on Translated Verse' is derived from
Boileau's French 'Art de Poetique'. One of the 'correct'
school. Pope and Addison were largely influenced by B. The
former's 'Essay on Criticism' is inspired by him. Boileau
himself was influenced by the 'De Arte Poetica' of Horace.

DON QUIXOTE (1605). _Tr._ by Thomas Shelton, 1612-20.
A COLLECTION OF SELECT NOVELS, written originally in Castilian by Don
M. C. S. made English by H. Bridges, 1728.
Butler's 'Hudibras' is a palpable metrical imitation of 'Don
Quixote'.
Beaumont and Fletcher's 'Knight of the Burning Pestle' is a
still closer imitation.
The tremendous influence of 'Don Quixote' upon English
literature is difficult to define. He was imitated by the
Elizabethans, e.g. Middleton's 'Spanish Gipsy' and Fletcher's
'Fair Maid of the Inn' are both taken from his 'Novellas
Exemplares'.

Capet.

affected English literature through Spenser and others, and
influenced more particularly the Elizabethan period.

=GEOFFREY OF MONMOUTH.= _b._ 1100, _d._ 1154. =British historian.=
THE BRITISH HISTORY. _Tr._ With a large commentary by Aaron Thomson,
1718.
Historia Regum Brittaniæ, or Historia Britonum, based, as
Geoffrey tells us, upon a very old book lent him by Archdeacon
Walter (Galenius) of Oxford, probably a volume of Breton
Legends. Geoffrey also drew from the older history of Nennius,
but there still remains a large portion of his work which has
not been traced beyond his own pen.
The 'Historia' is looked upon as an epoch-making book, owing
to the impulse it gave to the literature of Romance. Legends
afloat among the natives of Wales and Bretagne were now given
a literary garb which rendered them sufficiently attractive
to awaken the interest of the world in general, and the
imagination of the mediæval poet was aroused by the chivalric
glamour which the historian threw over his descriptions of
Arthur's Court. It was a main source, but not the exclusive
one of Arthurian legend, for independent of the fact that many
characteristic features of the latter are not mentioned by him,
there is evidence of Welsh fables being extant in the 12th
century, which supplied material for later romances apart from
Geoffrey's history.
This work is the fountain-head of medieval romance, the
principal source of the legends of Merlin and Arthur, which
were amplified by the romancers by material from Celtic
tradition. Geoffrey's work is the basis of Wace's 'Roman de
Brut' and of Layamon's 'Brut'.

These stories enjoyed a wide vogue in France and England,
and formed matter for the exploitation of every class of
our Elizabethan dramatists or writers of fiction. They have
a particular interest to students of English literature as
having furnished, whether directly or indirectly, the plots
of 'Measure for Measure', and 'Othello'. That of the latter
is said to have reached Shakespeare through the French
translation, while that of the former is probably to be traced
to Wheatstone's 'Promos and Cassandra' (1578), an adaptation
of Cinthio's story, and to his 'Heptameron' (1582), which
contains a direct English translation. To Giraldi must be also
attributed Beaumont and Fletcher's 'Custom of the Country'.

'The influence of Goethe is not calculable. The effect of
his Faust begins most clearly in Byron's "Manfred"'. He has
influenced English ballad and lyrical poetry, as is seen in
Scott and Coleridge.
'The influence of such a man must be vast. Byron and Shelley
owned it and showed it. Carlyle, as stern a critic as ever
played the pedagogue, is unmixed in his admiration for the man
Goethe, who is to him divine. In his own country his "Werther",
despite its frequent morbidness and its longueurs, determined
the feeling of every sentimentalist. Outside that country his
"Wilhelm Meister" has become almost a textbook in æsthetic
philosophy'.

LAYAMON'S BRUT, OR CHRONICLE OF BRITAIN: a poetical semi-Saxon
paraphrase of the Brut of Wace. [With a tr.] _Ed._ by F. Madden, 3
v., 1847.
This work is important as the principal literary monument in
the English language of that period.
The poet 'thrummed' three books into one in his work, namely,
Wace's 'Geste des Bretons' (1155), his chief source, Baeda's
work in his own Latin, and Alfred's translation of the
same. The author has the distinction of being the first to
commemorate King Arthur in English verse.
=LAZARILLO DE TORMES.= [1554.]
THE PLEASAUNT HISTORIE OF LAZARILLO DE TORMES, A SPANIARDE ... draune
out of Spanish by David Rowland ... 1586.
'This little work may be thought by some of a low and trifling
nature: but it is the first of a race of comic romances. For
wit, spirit and inexhaustible resources ... there is nothing
like the Spanish rogue'.
'The first novela picaresca, or rogue story'. The appearance
of this work (1554) marks the date at which such stories first
took shape as a distinct branch of the novel, to be known as
the 'picaroon' or 'picaresque'. From that time, for nearly
a century, the 'Novelas de Picaros' are a chief product of
Spanish writing. Chief among the progeny of 'Lazarillo' are
'Guzman de Alfarache' (1599), a sequel to 'L' itself by Luma
(1620), and 'The Life of Buscon' by Quevedo (1626). All these
were quickly translated into English. In England the effect
of the picaresque novel first appears in the 'Jack Wilton' of
Nash. In France the type passed through the hands of Scarron
and Le Sage, whose 'Diable Boiteau' and 'Gil Blas' were
destined to eclipse the fame of the Spanish originals. From
the examples of France this species broke out in England with
the 'Moll Flanders' and 'Colonel Jack' of Defoe, the 'Joseph
Andrews' of Fielding, the 'Roderick Random' and 'Peregrine
Pickle' of Smollett. In the nineteenth century it finds its
congeners in the 'Three Musketeers' of Dumas and in the works
of several minor English novelists. 'Mr. Jingle does not
essentially differ from this type'.

in the philosophy of the beautiful, has perhaps influenced
more minds than any other work on æsthetics except those of
Aristotle and Longinus'. To countless others besides Macaulay
it has been their first illumination of the everlasting
principles of beauty.

Medburne, 1670.
WORKS; The first collected works were translated by J. Ozell, 6 v.
1714.
The writings of Molière were greatly influenced by the dramas
of Plautus. His 'L'Avare' is from the 'Aulularia', and his
'Amphitryon' from 'Amphitruo'.
Molière was also influenced by the writings of Terence, and
his 'Ecole des Maris' is from the 'Adelphi', and his 'Les
Fourberies de Scapin' from the 'Phormio' of Terence.
The plays of M. were imitated by Wycherley and Farquhar and the
post-Restoration dramatists. Meredith in his 'Essay on Comedy'
admits his profound and salutary influence on English fiction.
Molière was copied, adapted, translated by English writers, and
that not merely for reading, but for acting purposes. Dryden
translated 'L'Etourdi' as 'Sir Martin Mar-All'; Vanburgh turned
'Le Dépit Amoureux' into 'The Mistake'; Wycherley offered 'The
Plain Dealer' as a version of 'Le Misanthrope'; Fielding's
'Mock-Doctor' is 'Le Médecin Malgré Lui', his 'Miser' is
Molière's 'L'Avare'; Colley Cibber converted 'Tartuffe' into
'The Non-Juror'.
=MONTAIGNE, MICHAEL E. DE.= _b._ 1533, _d._ 1589. =French philosopher
and essayist.=
THE ESSAYS, (ESSAIS) or, MORALL, POLITIKE AND MILLITARIE DISCOURSES
OF LO: M. DE MONTAIGNE ... now done into English by J. Florio, 1603.
The first model of the essay. To Elizabethan England the
'Essays' of M. were well-known either directly or through
the translation of Florio. The 'Essays' of Bacon are clearly
indebted to his example. How far his influence has extended is
incalculable.

DIANA. [With a second part of A. Perez and also a continuation:
entitled, Enamoured Diana, by G. G. Polo.] _Tr._ by B. Yong, 1598.
Spenser's 'Shepherd's Calendar' and Sidney's 'Arcadia' are both
influenced by M.
'From the "Arcadia" of Sanazzaro on the one hand, and from the
"libros de caballerias" on the other, the Portuguese-Spaniard
Montemayor created his famous "Diana." This work, like Sidney's
"Arcadia," is partly in prose and partly in verse, and, in
such English development as arose from the pastoral, the
influence of the Spaniard must be reckoned with that of the
Neapolitan. It appears in Spenser's "Shepheard's Calendar", and
incidentally, it may be observed, that before writing his "Two
Gentlemen of Verona" Shakespeare would seem at least to have
been told of the substance of Montemayor'.

_Tr._ by Thos. Churchyard, 1580.
Largely influenced Chaucer, Spenser, Milton, Pope and
Shakespeare.
'In and before the poems of Chaucer, the poems of Ovid upon
love and its cure were much drawn upon by writers of romance
and allegories. They were the direct inspiration of much of the
troubadour poetry of Provence, and thence of the mediaeval
lyric verse of Europe in general. Ovidian borrowings are
manifest in the "Romance of the Rose". Chaucer himself was a
student of Ovid, Lucan, Virgil, "Stace" and also Livy. From
Ovid's "Metamorphoses," and love-elegies in particular, he took
much matter. Spenser's "Faerie Queene" is full of borrowings
from Ovid's "Metamorphoses". The effect of Ovid on Shakespeare
is manifest in his "Venus and Adonis"'.

Lorde Morley, 1565.
The form of the sonnets of Petrarch as introduced into
England by Wyatt and Surrey became very popular in the time
of Elizabeth. The following are amongst the more important
writers of sonnets influenced by P.: Sidney, 'Astrophel and
Stella'; Dryden, 'Idea'; Constable, 'Diana'; Daniel, 'Delia';
Watson, 'Teares of Fansie'; Spenser, 'Amoretta'; Shakespeare,
'Sonnets'; and Milton, 'Sonnets'; Tottel's 'Miscellany'
(which as a collection of the Elizabethan poets) is markedly
influenced by P.
=PETRONIUS.= _c._ 50. =Latin satirist.=

FABLES. _Tr._ by J. Davidson, 1745.

Bellamy, 1734.
'Phaedrus put into verse the Greek fables--commonly fathered
all alike on "Æsop"--which he could find current in his day.
The collection is probably much the same as that of the Greek
"Demetrius Phalereus" (300 B.C.). From the point of view
of both morals and language, the book served admirably for
schoolboys, and it is at least one of the main sources of the
fables which found their way into England, first with Alfred,
and, later, in more force with Caxton's "Æsop"'.
=PILPAY= (=BÍDPÁÍ=). =Oriental fabulist.=
[1] THE MORALL PHILOSOPHIE OF DONI--drawne out of Ancient Writers ...
_Tr._ by Sir T. North, 1570.
THE INSTRUCTIVE AND ENTERTAINING FABLES OF PILPAY made English (for
the Duke of Gloucester), 1679.
[1] [This celebrated Arabian fable-book, 'Calilah i Dumnah'
(_q.v._) is better known in Europe as 'Pilpay's Fables'.]
Several European fabulists, including Æsop, La Fontaine, have
drawn largely from the fables of P.

'Pindaric Odes', by Dryden in 'Song for St. Cecilia's Day',
'Alexander's Feast', by Pope, in 'Ode on St. Cecilia's Day', by
Gray in 'Progress of Poesy', by Shelley in 'Ode to Liberty'.
'Milton's "Ode on the Morning of the Nativity" is intended to
be Pindaric'.

morals and politics, together with a translation of his choicest

The 'Republic' is the model for all ideal commonwealths, e.g.
More's 'Utopia', Bacon's 'New Atlantis', etc. Berkeley's
'Alciphron' is based on the 'Dialogues'.
The philosophy of P. influenced the poetry of Shelley, and
Wordsworth's 'Intimations of Immortality'. His philosophy has
affected all subsequent philosophers.
=PLAUTUS, TITUS MACCIUS.= _b._ 254, _d._ 184 B.C. =Roman comedian.=

1595.
Formed type of Italian comedy of Renaissance. Shakespeare's
'Comedy of Errors' is an adaptation from Plautus's 'Menaechmi'.
Dryden's 'Amphitryon' is adapted from Plautus through Molière.
'Sackville sought his comic models in Plautus'.

A SUMMARIE OF THE ANTIQUITIES AND
WONDERS OF THE WORLDE, abstracted out of the sixtene first bookes of
Pliny. _Tr._ by J. R. [1565].
An important source of our knowledge of early science.
'Doubtless Pliny's "Encyclopædia" is ultimately responsible for
much of the confused natural history of the Middle Ages, and
not only Chaucer, but also the sixteenth century Euphuists,
with their egregious similitudes, are almost certainly in his
debt'.
=PLINY, CAIUS.= (=CAIUS PLINIUS CAECILIUS SECUNDUS.=) _The younger._
_b._ 61 A.D., =Latin author and orator.=

THEIR LIVES. Written by ... P. etc., 1569.
Shakespeare used North's tr. of Plutarch's 'Lives' freely for
his plots as is seen in _Coriolanus_, _Julius Caesar_. P. also
initiated the biographical essay, of whom we have the best
exponent in Macaulay. Has formed a model for all later writers.

Wilton' by Nash was the first example in English. It was later
followed by 'Moll Flanders' and 'Colonel Jack' by Defoe,
the 'Joseph Andrews' of Fielding, the 'Roderick Random' and
'Peregrine Pickle' of Smollett. In the nineteenth century we
find it imitated by Dumas in 'The Three Musketeers' and also in
some of the later minor novelists.

upon him liberally'.

=ROMANCE OF THE ROSE.= By Guillaume de Lorris and Jean de Meung.
THE ROMAUNT OF THE ROSE. _Ed._ by Dr. Max Kaluza. [From the Glasgow
MS. Published by the _Chaucer Soc._ The first 1704 lines are probably
Chaucer's.] 1890.
[This was translated by Chaucer and some of his predecessors,
and the MS. of part of it is in existence.]
Chaucer and Gower borrowed freely from the 'Roman de la Rose'.
This romance was familiar in both France and England before
Chaucer's time. Wace and Benoît de Sainte-More written by
Anglo-Normans.
It was the reading of this work that influenced the first
efforts of Chaucer. During the epoch which is called the
Chaucerian, authors known and nameless used the stock of
mediaeval France as freely and as monotonously as the French
themselves.
=RONSARD, PIERRE DE.= _b._ 1524, _d._ 1585. =Eminent French poet.=
Some translations from Ronsard will be found in 'Ronsard and La
Pléiade', by G. Wyndham, 1906.
Ronsard and Du Bellay are the two most important names of the
'Pléiade'. The followers of R., through the Italian school
introduced the 'classical' style of verse into England. 'The
English poets also read Du Bellay, who finally established the
sonnet and at the same time served as a pattern for English
writers. One writer of the Ronsardist School, Du Bartas, was a
writer of real religious conviction, and his "Semaine" or "Week
of Creation", translated by Sylvester, gained no small currency
in England'.

R., whether in a novel or in his 'Confessions', is the first
writer in modern Europe to expatiate upon inanimate nature in
connexion with the feelings. Affected English poetry in the
early nineteenth century.
'How much of the "Nature Worship" of Wordsworth and his age may
be due to this example can hardly be estimated, but the name of
R. was a familiar one in England, and by him was sown much of
the seed which our own revivalists watered'.
'The works of Rousseau have exercised a direct and uncommon
influence upon English literature, which it is hard to define.
There is no doubt he is the "Father of modern democracy"'
(Prof. Lowell).

=SAGAS.=
'The Icelandic Sagas'--the prose histories of the fortunes of
the great Icelandic houses--are the last, and also the finest,
expression and record of the spirit and the ideas belonging
properly to the Germanic race in its own right, and not derived
from Rome or Christendom'.
An immense imaginative literature is growing up around the
Sagas. To mention only a few prominent writers who have
received their inspiration from these sources, we have,
Baring-Gould in 'Grettir the Outlaw' (1889), the works of Henty
and Ballantyne, R. Leighton's 'Olaf the Glorious' (1894), Du
Chaillu's 'Olaf the Viking' (1893), Kingsley's 'Hereward',
etc., Longfellow, W. Morris in 'Sigurd' and 'Earthly Paradise',
and Arnold's 'Balder Dead', etc., etc.

between 1230-60, according to Vigfússon. 'Unquestionably the

of it having been derived from Saxo-Grammaticus, the Danish
historiographer (late 12th century), and remodelled under the
influence of popular folk tales, Carlovingian, and Arthurian
romances, and the stories of Tamburlane'.
