Only two copies of William's work survive in anything like its complete form, and only one of them represents the finished product. But many of the stories were also transmitted separately, in groups or individually; the systematic use of this evidence is a feature of this new text.\u003cbr\u003e Originally written in elegant Latin, this paperback takes the translation from the original hardcover to produce an attractive edition for the student or general reader.
