Middle English,
By Mondo Dave (San Francisco) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Ship Of Fools (Paperback)
I was a bit shocked to discover that this edition of the book was in Middle English. Somehow, I missed that in the product description. I do not find it hard to read, but the Middle English is not annotated and I probably would not have purchased it if I had known that I would have to slog through opaque old spellings and the like.
The book itself is an interesting read, not as amusing as I had hoped. I am concerned that the translation may not be accurate--my doubts arises because the text mentions separate courts of law and equity, and I would be surprised to learn that there was such a separation in Germany at the time that Ship of Fools was written. However, it is my understanding that this translation was a successful publication in English, regardless of how true it is (or is not) to the original. So, I am happy to have read it. |
