A Familiar Dialogue of The Friend and The Fellow: A Translation of Alain Chartier's Dialogus Familiaris Amici et Sodalis

by Margaret Blayney (Editor)

This is a new critical edition of A Famylyer Dyaloge of the Freende and the Felaw , a late 15th-century translation of the Latin work Dialogus familiaris amici et sodalis (c. 1425) by Alain Chartier. The prose work forcefully laments the ruinous conditions in France brought about by the
corruption and vices of the rulers, army, and common people in the early 15th century.

This is a difficult read, both for the language as for the philosophy. I was most disappointed by the introduction, which consists of two pages, and gives no details of the MS, the date, or the translator.
