Aisling Byrne
This article is the first full examination of Irish translation popular and influential medieval romance Octavian. I argue that source for this was an insular version romance, probably in Middle English. show how translator incorporated material from another Fierabras, order to introduce characters Charlemagne his vassals into story. only Octavian gives text a Carolingian setting. also demonstrate which produced differed significant ways any surviving versions other languages. suggest provides our witness lost variant and, as such, extends knowledge corpus Ages.
