Sidrak and Bokkus, A Parallel-text Edition: Volume I

A previously unpublished fifteenth-century book of knowledge, written in verse in question-and-answer form and enclosed in a framing adventure story. The English version is taken from an Old French source. The work covers a very wide range of topics and is of interest as an index of popular beliefs in the Middle Ages. Volume I will include an Introduction. Volume II (EETS OS 312) will contain the remainder of the text, explanatory notes, and a glossary: it is due to appear in 1999.
