Hardcover. Condition: New. Written in 1456 this celebrated late medieval prose work purports to be the chivalric biography of a real knight, Jean de Saintré (1320-68), but actually blends fact, fiction and comedy, describing Jean's glorious exploits in combat and romantic love - and much else, including treatises on sins and virtue, details of apparel, set pieces on tournaments and a lusty monk. This English translation is accompanied by an introduction, notes, glossary and bibliography.
