Cliges is generally thought to be the second of Chretien’s Arthurian romances, probably written between 1185-87. This critical edition of Cligesis the first since Wendelin Foerster’s in (1884) to take account of all the manuscripts. Based on the Guiot manuscript, it contains many emendations, producing a text closer to that of Chretien’s original. Variant apparatus, notes, glossary, and editorial comment on the manuscripts accompany the text. Dr STEWART GREGORY is in the Department of French, Leicester University; Dr CLAUDE LUTTRELLwas formerly in the Department of English at the same university, and is known for his books and articles on 12c French Arthurian romance.
