Description

Explore a rare piece of medieval history with The Story of Attila in Prose. This Routledge Medieval Translations volume offers the first critical edition and translation of the thirteenth-century Franco-Italian text, the Estoire d'Atile en prose. Based on two anonymous and untitled manuscripts from the late thirteenth and early fourteenth centuries, this work provides a unique look at the fictional founding of Venice following Attila the Hun's invasion of Aquileia. The text follows the legendary life of Attila, from his unusual birth and the stories of his pagan mother to his unexpected death during a game of chess. This edition is an essential resource for scholars and readers interested in social and cultural history.
