Gliglois

Harvard University Press has partnered with De Gruyter to make available for sale worldwide virtually all in-copyright HUP books that had become unavailable since their original publication. The 2,800 titles in the “e-ditions” program can be purchased individually as PDF eBooks or as hardcover reprint (“print-on-demand”) editions via the “Available from De Gruyter” link above. They are also available to institutions in ten separate subject-area packages that reflect the entire spectrum of the Press’s catalog. More about the E-ditions Program »

After the death of Wendelin Foerster, Harvard University acquired the papers and notes for his frequently announced edition of the Gliglois. These are of capital importance because a mediaeval manuscript of the romance no longer exists, the unique one having been destroyed in the fire at the National Library of Turin in 1904. Charles Livingston has here edited the text and has supplied a full Introduction, Notes, and Glossary.
