Renée Curtis's three-volume critical edition of the \u003ci\u003eProse Tristan\u003c\/i\u003eis the only edition of this very important medieval work ever published; until the first volume (now reprinted with corrections) appeared in 1963, the work was only accessible in the form of a few fragments which had been edited and a summary of the romance made by E. Löseth in 1891. Dr Curtis's edition is based on a complete collation of all the manuscripts, and this led her to choose the Carpentras manuscript (404) as the basis of her edition.\u003cbr\u003e    Professor Brian Woledge, the eminent medievalist, wrote of this first volume in \u003ci\u003eErasmus\u003c\/i\u003e:`The publication of this book is an event of some importance in Arthurian studies.
