Overview

""The Buke of the Order of Knyghthood"" is a historical translation by Sir Gilbert Hay from the French version of Ramon Llull's ""Libre del Orde de Cauayleria."" This edition, sourced from a manuscript held in the library at Abbotsford, offers a glimpse into the medieval understanding of knighthood and chivalric ideals.
