This volume contains the first critical edition of The Honourable,
Pleasant and Rare Conceited Historie of Palmendos (London, 1589), a
chivalric romance translated into English by Anthony Munday. The
original text, Primaleon de Grecia I (Salamanca, 1512), soon became
a best-seller on the Spanish market and was translated into many
continental languages. Munday's translation derives from the French
version by Francois de Vernassal (1550). It comprises the first
thirty-two chapters of the French text and focuses on the
adventures of Palmendos on his journey to Constantinople. This is
an original-spelling edition that produces a text as close as
possible to Munday's original manuscript.
