Rather long introduction relative to the rest of the book and while all the manuscript references and dates is somewhat mind boggling, there is interesting stuff here. How much is in question about the person of Marie de France and the political and also the literary context of the 12th cent. In particular her approach to the theme of Love is discussed. Having read some of A Cappellanus, some of that rang a bell.

I was worried that this version might be incomplete... but the stories listed on wikipedia are the ones included here so I guess thats right... Though earlier translations listed on archive dot org seem to have considerably more stories in them so I do not know where those are from... maybe other works by Marie de France? I think she had other poems and fabliaux in her repertoire.

I found this while looking for something else at the bookstore. This copy is not in terribly good shape. But the pages are relatively unmarked so Ive seen worse. I read some translation of some of these stories before, eliduc in my college literature class from the norton anthology, and a collection for children of these stories I found at the library one time.
