Cronica del principe D. Belianis. Burgos, 1587. fol. 2 voll.

Complete bibliographical information concerning Amadis is much wanted. Concerning this work generally, see Quadrio storia d'ogni poesia IV, 516 ss. Mélanges tir. d'une gr. bibl. XIV, 370 ss.

Rogel and Agesilas (or 3 parts of Florisel). 13. Silvio de la Silva. 14-17. Sphæramont and Amadis d'Astre. 18-24. The remaining descendants of Amadis of Gaul. To which is added, as an appendix: 25. Florès de Grèce. 26. Chevalier du soleil. 27. Belianis. 28. Roman des Romans. Also Primaleon, Palmerin of Oliva and of England, Olivier of Castile, and the palladian history, are reckoned with this series of stories, but do not properly belong to it.

This and the Paris edition, 1577. 16°. 21 vols. are the only complete editions. Par. 1540-43. fol. contains only 12 books. (There is a copy of the first book on vellum in the royal library at Paris.)

A complete series of the French Amadis according to the afore-mentioned editions contains therefore 43 volumes, whereof 24 are in 16°. and 19 in 8°. In France it is a very great rarity. (At Vallière's sale, yet without the Belianis, 384 francs.) In Germany a complete set is unheard of. The Dresden library possesses, besides the already noticed incomplete editions, a copy

of the whole Amadis of the Lyons and Antwerp editions, in 16°. mixed together, including books xxii-xxiv. the Tresor, hist. du cher. du sol., and Belianis.

A more recent compilation of Amadis de Gaule, was made first by mademoiselle de Laubert, Amst. (Par.) 1570. 12°. 4 vols. with plates. To which is added, Les hauts fails d'Esplandian.

The translation of most of the books was by Mambrino Roseo. A complete copy of the Italian Amadis does not give place to the Spanish as a rarity, and even surpasses the French edition.

scarce. The book has two divisions. The first begins, without further title, with the vita Ambr. sec. Paulinum, and is a faithful
