Surpassing all the knights of his time in strength and bravery, Segurant wins hands down every knightly tournament he enters, until he is bewitched by the fairies Morgana and Sibylle who send him in pursuit of a fire-breathing dragon.
The extraordinary adventures of this knight of the Round Table had been forgotten for centuries. They were rediscovered by a young medievalist, Emanuele Arioli, who scoured libraries across Europe in search of the manuscripts of this Arthurian romance. After more than ten years of research, Emanuele Arioli presents here the text of this lost novel, illustrated with illuminations from the original manuscripts, so that everyone can read it for the first time.
"To find a new medieval novel today, an unknown Arthurian novel, is exceptional. [...] To reconstruct the entire novel is a feat of erudition, intelligence, and sensitivity." Michel Zink
