Edwin Place was professor emeritus at Northwestern University. Herbert Behm taught language arts in California. John E. Keller, professor emeritus of Spanish at the University of Kentucky, is co-author of Daily Life Depicted in the Cantigas de Santa Maria.
" Includes a new Introduction by John E. Keller In the long history of European prose fiction, few works have been more influential and more popular than the romance of chivalry Amadis of Gaul. Although its original author is unknown, it was probably written during the early fourteenth century. The first great bestseller of the age of printing, Amadis of Gaul was translated into dozens of languages and spawned sequels and imitators over the centuries. A handsome, valiant, and undefeatable knight, Amadis is perhaps best known today as Don Quixote's favorite knight-errant and model. This exquisite English translation restores a masterpiece to print.
