Normally, I dislike buying abridged editions, but this was a very pretty hardback copy with plentiful, glossy illustrations from medieval illuminations, and I thought it was a bargain at €5 in this year's Trinity Book Sale. It was readable, but more as a retelling of the stories than as a complete version (at least a third, if not more, is missing) or as any attempt at a scholarly edition. There is some analysis at the beginning, but it's not very in-depth, and though there were glosses in the margin explaining some of the more difficult archaisms, I felt a more expanded glossary would have been useful. Tolerable, but there are many more worthwhile editions out there. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
