Reviews
The scholarship on display in the apparatus accompanying the text is formidable. A Chivalric Life is a highly-accomplished edition of an important fifteenth-century text, with particular relevance for those interested in the history of the later medieval aristocracy, tournaments and warfare. * DE RE MILITARI *
Translated into English for the first time, A Chivalric Life offers new readers the opportunity to engage with this fine example of a knight's biography . . . Rosalind Brown-Grant and Mario Damen's translation is accessible and engaging. -- Sebastian Dows-Miller * Times Literary Supplement *
In contrast to previous editions and translations of the text, almost all of the countless names from the Burgundian nobility are identified here and consistently documented from the literature and common detection instruments. The included maps help you understand the text and the historical-geographical situation of Lalaing's life. Im Unterschied zu den bisherigen Ausgaben und UEbersetzungen des Textes werden hier so gut wie alle der zahllosen Namen aus dem burgundischen Adel identifiziert und konsequent aus der Literatur und gangigen Nachweisinstrumenten belegt. Dem Verstandnis des Textes und der historisch-geografischen Situierung von Lalaings Lebensweg dienen die beigegebenen Karten. * H-Soz-Kult *
Without a doubt this publication will delight those who are attracted by the chivalric culture of the late Middle Ages or who study it. Sans aucun doute cette publication fera le bonheur de ceux et celles qui sont attires par la culture chevaleresque de ce Moyen Age finissant ou qui l'etudient. * FRANCIA RECENSIO *
