Description

The Story of Attila in Prose presents the first critical edition and translation of the Estoire d'Atile en prose, a thirteenth century Franco-Italian text preserved in two anonymous manuscripts held in Zagreb and Venice. This medieval narrative recounts the fictional founding of Venice following Attila the Hun's invasion of Aquileia, blending historical events with legendary tales. The work details Attila's extraordinary origins, including accounts of his pagan mother and feral birth, alongside the unusual circumstances of his death during a chess match. Published by Routledge as part of their Medieval Translations series, this edition combines scholarly rigour with accessible translation, offering readers insight into how medieval writers reimagined the Hunnic leader's life and legacy through the lens of Venetian foundation mythology.
