5.0 out of 5 stars The Art of Virtue: For the Gallant Englishman, 31 Dec 2004

By A Customer

Knights, ladies, gallantry: these words call forth noble and righteous behaviour in the beautiful world of the high Mediaeval ages. THE BOOK OF THE ORDRE OF CHYVALRY OR KNYGHTHODE is an all-time classic, the foremost handbook on the knight's code written by a knight of great deeds. This bold knight, Ramon Llull, here paints a mystical picture of the knight's virtuous pursuit as high spirituality.

Readers may know William Caxton's famous edition of MORTE D'ARTHUR as the seed-book of English literature's rise. Here, then is another. Caxton has liberally added his own knightly meditations thereto in Arthur's spirit.

This special edition is a work you will long treasure -- if you can find it. Its prose is poetic and printed exactly as Caxton himself set it down. It will teach you the long-lost beauty of English. It will teach you the heroic beauty of Life.

For students of Middle and early Modern English, this book is an easy read and a must have. Those who enjoy Sir Thomas Malory's MORTE D'ARTHUR and Geoffrey Chaucer's CANTERBURY TALES, should keep this beside them on their bookshelf.

This edition is written in the original and beautiful late Middle English, such as you may have read in high school. Enjoy its music and its virtue.

This edition is a devotional book. Keep it with you, ready for when you crave inspiration on how to lead your life well and timelessly.
