In the long history of European prose, few works have been more
influential and popular than Amadis of Gaul. It is a landmark work
among the knight-errantry tales and probably derives from an oral
tradition. Although its original author is unknown, it was likely
written during the early fourteenth century, with the first known
version of this work, dating from 1508, written in Spanish by Garci
Ord ez (or Rodr?guez) de Montalvo. An early bestseller of the age
of printing, Amadis of Gaul was translated into dozens of languages
and spawned sequels and imitators over the centuries. A handsome,
valiant, and undefeatable knight, Amadis is best known today as Don
Quixote's favorite knight-errant and role model. Readers for
centuries have delighted in his tales of adventure.
