Edition and Translation of Huon d'Auvergne, Pre-Modern Franco-Italian Epic
Preparation for publication of a digital edition and modern English translation of the Franco-Italian epic, Huon d'Auvergne, drawing on three manuscripts and one fragment dating from 1341 to 1441. (36 months).
The purpose of this edition and translation project is to make the poem Huon d’Auvergne available in its multiple versions to a range of scholars, students, critics and linguists in a searchable, verifiable and easily read computerized format at a reasonable cost of production through a team project. An annotated translation into English of the first version will enable the general public to appreciate the plot, themes and subtle humor.
