Notes: This Byzantine novel, with its origins in the 12th century, was several times translated into French. Here it is translated into English (and somewhat Bowdlerised) by a Frenchman for the benefit of his countrymen learning English. It is fairly obviously a French production: for instance, the instructions in the Errata are in French. An edition in French and with the same imprint, had appeared 5 years earlier.
