The Gilte Legende is, for the most part, a close translation "drawn
out of Frensshe into Englisshe" in 1438, of Jean de Vignay's
Legende doree of about 1333-40, itself a close translation of
Jacobus de Voragine's Legenda aurea, completed c.1267. The
importance of the Legenda aurea as one of the most widely copied
and read books of the later middle ages can hardly be
over-estimated. This is the first of a projected set of three
volumes; volumes I and II will contain the text, and volume III the
general introduction, notes and commentary. Richard Hamer is an
Emeritus Student of Christ Church, Oxford, and former Tutor in
English Literature. Vida Russell was formerly a Senior Lecturer in
English at the University of Adelaide.
