The MHRA is pleased to announce the publication of Vol. 9 in the
Critical Texts series: an edition of Istoire de la Chastelaine du
Vergier et de Tristan le Chevalier, prepared by Jean-François Kosta-Théfaine.

This is a critical edition of a short text of the 15th century
entitled Istoire de la Chastelaine du Vergier et de Tristan le
Chevalier -- a late prose version of the Chastelaine de Vergi which
had enjoyed great success and was much imitated in different European
literatures from the 15th to the 16th century (including the seventy
nouvelles of Marguerite de Navarre’s Heptameron (1559)).

The volume includes an introduction, a comparative study of the verse
and the prose versions, a description of the manuscript, and a study
of the language, as well as notes, a glossary, an index, and a
bibliography.
