.no-subscribe { display: none} [contenteditable] { pointer-events: none; } Historia Destructionis Troiae Guido Delle Colonne Translated with an introduction and notes by Mary Elizabeth Meeks Published by Indiana University Press, 1974. First Edition, thus. Very good hardcover, no dustjacket. Tight binding, solid spine, clean unmarked text, sunning to spine. 8vo, index, 324 pages. Troy (Extinct city) -- Legends, Trojan War -- Romances, Latin (Medieval and modern) -- Translations into English. This is a translation of the only modern edition of the Historia Destructionis Troiae, that of Nathaniel Edward Griffin, published by the Mediaeval Academy of America in 1936. It is a literal translation, intended to facilitate use of the Latin text as well as the vernacular works stemming from it. In the case of proper names, it has seemed best to use the conventional Anglicized Latin forms, as Aeneas for Heneas, especially for the characters and places familiar to us from classical literature. Occasionally the textual form is kept, as in the catalogues of the heroes in which all kinds of garbled readings occur, or as in the case of Briseida, whose name and character have almost nothing to do with the classical Briseis.
