{"product_id":"historia-apollonii-regis-tyri-william-robins-9780888444868","title":"Historia Apollonii Regis Tyri: A Fourteenth-Century Version of a Late Antique Romance","description":"With its shipwrecked princes, pirates, and princesses, the \u003ci\u003eHistoria Apollonii regis Tyri\u003c\/i\u003e provided medieval Europe with one of its most popular and influential narratives. The tale incorporates many literary features characteristic of the ancient Hellenistic novel, but differs markedly from its Greek predecessors: its narrative is presented in condensed fashion, its description of characters and events is straightforwardly functional, and the style of its Latin simple. While these features make the \u003ci\u003eHistoria Apollonii\u003c\/i\u003e an oddity among the ancient novels, they contributed to the appeal the story held for later readers and writers in medieval Europe. This edition provides a text of the Latin \u003ci\u003eHistoria Apollonii\u003c\/i\u003e as a reader from the later Middle Ages might have encountered it, from a manuscript written in Italy in the middle of the fourteenth century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Robins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0888444869\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780888444868\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e PIMS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.30d","brand":"William Robins","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44072873296127,"sku":"9780888444868","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3c075ed6-4202-4869-8850-0ed18bb66e84.jpg?v=1685444440","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/historia-apollonii-regis-tyri-william-robins-9780888444868","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
