Ecbasis Cuiusdam Captivi Per Tropologiam--Escape of a Certain Captive Told in a Figurative Manner

The oldest medieval beast epic is here literally translated into English prose for the first time, with Latin on facing pages. The Introduction and Commentary by Zeydel familiarize the reader with the history and value of the text and argues for the inclusion of Latin literature composed in Germany in the history of German literature.
