Description
Winner of the Adele Mellen Prize for contribution to scholarship The legend of Mlusine is one of the most captivating tales in French cultural history.

Couldrette created the medieval poetic version of Mlusine based on Jean dArrass prose version, which was written at the behest of Jean De Berry. This critical edition includes a summary of the story and its creation, its historical background and sources, and textual history.
