Ipomedon

"Ipomadon is a Middle English translation of the twelfth-century Anglo-Norman romance, Ipomedon, by Hue de Rotelande. The romance was translated into English three times in the medieval period; this edition contains the fullest version, Ipomadon A. The complete text has only been available hitherto in E. Kolbing's German edition of 1889." "This new edition includes a glossary and full explanatory notes, and discussion of the language of the text, together with a full comparison of the different versions of this popular story."--BOOK JACKET.
