What reading level is Specimens of Early English Metrical Romances Chiefly Written During the Early P book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Douce.
There is a copy of the original Latin work en- titled " Alphonsus de Clerical! Disciplina, " in the British Museum ( ), but it is very de- fective at the end. There are also two French metrical versions of the same (MSS. Harl. 527 an ^ 4338), the former wanting a leaf at the end, and the latter imperfect in the middle j but they vary con- siderably in the number and arrangement of the stories, which are generally more ample, and per- haps better told, than in the Latin copy. It should se...em, therefore, that the French translator has taken some liberties in attempting to improve his original, or that he has used a more perfect copy than that which is here mentioned 5 but this must remain a question till other Latin copies shall be 128 examined, some of which may possibly be pre- served in the National Library at Paris.
With respect to the French MS. Of Pierre Anfors (who is thus named in both the Harleian MSS. ), which existed at St. Germain des Pres, No. 1 830, and has been partly edited, and partly abridged, by Barbazan, under the title of " Castdiement d'un Pere A son Fils, " we must suppose that it was either very imperfect, or very inattentively examined by the editor, who treats the work as anonymous, and appears to have known nothing concerning the author, Petrus Alphonsus, a converted Jew, who flourished in 1 106, and was godson to Alphonsus I.
