Roman van Ferguut


The Roman van Ferguut is a 13th-century Arthurian romance written in what is now called Middle Dutch. The first part of the Roman was translated fairly accurately from the Scottish French language work known as the Roman de Fergus, but the second part, possibly the work of another author, was much more loosely derived. The Roman van Ferguut today has wide fame as a Dutch classic, certainly more fame than the Roman de Fergus possesses in either Scotland or France. The only manuscript of Ferguut is kept at Leiden University Libraries. A digital version is also available.
In 2000, it was translated into English by the American scholar David F Johnson.
