'[The Tale of Livistros and Rodamne] is a fascinating text that will be of interest to a broad range of scholars including Byzantinists as well as anyone working on cross cultural literary and cultural interactions in the medieval Mediterranean.' Nicholas Morton, The Journal of Religious History, Literature & Culture 'Agapitos captures every sound, rhythm, and movement with attention to the lyricism of the original language... The Tale of Livistros and Rodamne is a literary triumph and a solid step forward in the right direction in Byzantine and world literary studies.' Christina Christoforatou, Speculum ‘Panagiotis Agapitos’ translation of the mid-thirteenth-century romance Livistros and Rodamne does justice to one of the great works of Byzantine literature through one of its great scholars. [Agapitos] restores the poetry to the poem, in terms of both its verse layout and the pleasures of its inventive diction and intricate structure.’ Adam J. Goldwyn, Byzantine and Modern Greek Studies ‘Le livre constitue par son introduction une contribution capitale àce volume est l’aboutissement d’un long parcours intellectuel, un produit de maturité d’un savant qui est l’un des experts les plus influents dans l’étude de la fiction byzantine.’ Charis Messis, Université d’Athènes ‘This volume is the culmination of a long intellectual journey, a product of the maturity of a scholar who is one of the most influential experts in the study of Byzantine fiction.’ Translated from French.
