Perlesvaus, a Study of Its Principal Sources: Presented to the Board of University Studies of the Johns Hopkins University for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, 1899 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Perlesvaus, a Study of Its Principal Sources: Presented to the Board of University Studies of the Johns Hopkins University for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, 1899
This study is here published substantially as it was submitted to the Johns Hopkins University in 1899 for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. A few changes have since been made in it, but these are mainly in matters of detail. A more thorough revision, for which I did not have time, would doubtlessly have gone far to improve it. I trust, however, that the results it contains will be none the less evident because they are not always presented in the best possible form.
