Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Ancient Poem of Guillaume De Guileville: Entitled Le Pèlerinage De L´homme, Compared With the Pilgrim´s Progress of John Bunyan English quotations given in the following pages are taken from two different translations of De Guileville which are not known to exist in print, but of which two MSS. are found in the British Museum. Curiously enough, one of these is imperfect at the end, while the other, which is imperfect at the beginning, supplies the portion required. The former, Vitellius, C. XIII. is supposed to be translated by Lydgate - no account of the Tiberius, A. vii. has been discovered. Both have suffered by fire in various places; and some of the aflerisks occurring in the following quotations denote the passages which have either been destroyed or rendered illegible. In some places, again, afterisks have been inserted where the great diffuseness of the English version rendered it advisable to omit some of the less striking descriptions and insert the substance of them in a prose fummary. The woodcut on the cover of the Pilgrim, with staff and cockle-shell and a clasped volume in his left hand, is taken from a rare book in the library of Queen´s College, Oxford, entitled "The Booke of the Pylgrymage of Man."
