Synopsis
The First Modern English Translation of a Medieval Masterpiece
For the first time in over five centuries, Jehan Bagnyon’s Fierabras - a medieval bestseller that once rivaled the Song of Roland - is available in clear, modern English.
This sweeping romance follows Charlemagne and his Twelve Peers as they confront the Saracen giant Fierabras, wielder of relics from Christ’s Passion. Through single combat, faith, and unlikely brotherhood, a warrior once feared as an enemy becomes a champion of chivalry and conversion.
Why This Edition Matters
- Historic milestone - Bagnyon’s 1478 prose was the first printed chanson de geste, with 25 editions by 1500.
- Cultural influence - Revered across Europe, cited by Rabelais and Cervantes.
- Complete & unabridged - Every battle, vow, and miracle preserved.
- Readable & faithful - Scholarly accuracy with accessible prose.
For Readers Who Love
- Medieval epics, Arthurian legends, and crusader tales
- Epic fantasy with knights, giants, and relics
- Classic literature reborn in modern translation
“O noble Olivier, in God’s honor I cry mercy to you… I will believe in the Christian faith and render the relics for which you take such pain.”
Translated by Valentin Sarić - composer of hyper-classical music and author of speculative fiction - this edition restores a long-lost treasure of European literature, bridging medieval devotion with modern storytelling.
Note on the Author’s Name:
The original 1478 prose romance was written by Jehan Bagnyon, whose name is sometimes modernized as Jean Bagnyon in English references. Both forms refer to the same author; this edition uses the historically authentic Jehan spelling while also acknowledging the variant to aid readers in finding the work.
