Melusine (Roman De Parthenay Ou Roman De Lusignan)

Description: Offering a translation into Modern French, this work presents specialists and non-specialists with access to an important version of the Melusinian textual tradition.

O'Sullivan University of Mississippi ... the volume offers a text established with an extreme philological rigor resting on a dynamic principle of respect for the medieval manuscript, a tradition that is both precise and enlightening, which will ably guide the reader to a clear understanding of the medieval text. - Prof. Claudio Galdersi Universite de Poiters
